Jiujitsu Day 3

Again I arrived a little late to Jiujitsu training. After the customary warm-ups and drills we went along with technique.

Today's lessons revolved around the high guard. We worked on counters when people were trying to stack your guard. The two techniques we learned today is the armbar from the high guard and the sweep from the high guard.


Armbar from the high guard.

After going over the techniques it was time to free roll. I ended training with Joe who you see here on these videos. Joe informed me that he has a shoulder and neck injury and wanted to just train lightly. We both decided that I should work my guard and he should work on his passes. After a good a 10 minutes on the ground we it called a truce. It was then that I found out that I needed to work on my sweeps when I my opponent posts his leg.

After a few minutes to catch my breathe I then start to work with my training partner David. I was able to submit him twice, get some reversals, and even escaped his triangle that he had on me. Over all it is a good and I can see myself getting my mat stamina back.
