Steppin up - training '07

[stricker]

Decided to start another blog, I kinda enjoyed posting the little write ups after getting in from training, and i've got a really good feeling about 2007.

Well the 2 weeks before xmas i basically trained 6days a week, mma, thai or judo, plus some wing chun thrown in. Then had 2 weeks of for xmas and new years, went out nearly every night, was fun, but now im done and its time to train. I did a little bit of strength stuff with dumbells and some ab work a few times, but nothing serious. Yoga/bodyflow stuff every day.

Here goes, I'll post up some objectives soon.

first day back training after break.

MMA.
warm up
2 rounds shadow boxing with 30s intervals of pummelling, jumping switch lunges mixed in. then 1 minute of superman sprawls.

5x3 min rounds on the pads
instead of holding after the pad change over did some tasty takedown drills

then a few rounds rolling.

Fitness was wierd, didnt even break a sweat doing the warm up but then ****ed by the 3rd round on the pads, think the superman sprawls killed my arms big time.

MMA (judo)

rounds of standing kuzushi practice (grip the gi + take balance) then add foot sweeps, then add a few basic throws, then any throw/takedown

technique learning : rounds of rolling, 4 of us + judo coach. breaks whenever we needed to be taught technique, then drilled technique, then back to rolling.

then joined the no gi guys for more rounds of rolling.

MMA.

warm up, breakfalls
2 rounds shadow boxing with intervals of jumping lunges and superman sprawls
2x5min rounds on thai pads
2x5min rounds holding thai pads

rounds of pummelling with lots of stand up wrestling. got schooled on when to try duckunders and take the back and when not to by a judoka, got thrown a couple of times...

then groundwork:
details on arm bar from guard technique, need to tighten these up in rolling.
drilled triangles
bicep crush/turnover
choke from opponent in turtle (feint taking back but switch knees and roll back into guard)

Weights

Sumo Deadlift:
30kg+bar 10 reps
50kg+bar x5
70kg+bar x5
85kg+bar 4 sets of 5 reps

Dumbell Bench Press (on ball) back to back with bent over dumbell row (same weight)
10kg+dumbell 4sets x 8 reps L, R

OH dumbell lunges

Finished with a load of sledgehammer/clubbell stuff i'm experimenting with using a weight on one end of a dumbell handle. then usual stretching/yoga/bodyflow bits.

MMA.

warm up

nightmare of a conditioning session "to get rid of christmas fat". rounds and rounds of pummelling, thai pummel, wrestling for position, partner resisted march knees, wall teeps, kick pushbacks with parther, exercises like jumping lunges etc etc non stop for the whole hour and a half.

stretching to cool down
