Taught MMA grappling class. Was supposed to teach pinning against the fence/wall and taking the back and or dragging opponent down with a lovely neck crank, but since there was no MMA guys in class we just focused on back defense and retaining back control with that lovely neck crank.

Dear diary. It's been over a week since I got on the mats... I'm afraid it'll be another week...
Hope you are not feeling too rough with it. Get well soon.

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm feeling better but still giving positive quick test so hopes for getting on the mats tomorrow have vanished. Hoping for Tueday next week.

During that time I've (almost) finished 2 books totaling at over 600 pages, so that's something at least... (In addition to endless doomscrolling in Twitter).

Use the Dr Zelenko protocol.
I did it and test negative 4 days later.

Hit my old dead lift PR! First time since injury. Felt surprisingly light, not easy, but also didn't even feel light headed after and held the weight up for a bit. Feels good to be back on track with strength development.

Keep working David! A strong body recovers and heals faster. You got experience and good contacts to help you with the work ahead. And it's going to feel amazing to be back once everything is in check.

Had my first old man Jiujitsu injury. Threw my back out Thursday. Went to the chiropractor and masseuse today in hopes of being able to compete Saturday.

I'm back on the mats. Seems that I've dodged whatever longer-covid-symptoms. My gas tank isn't great, but it hasn't been that great at no point past 3-ish years... Am able to roll normally etc.

Funnily it seems that something in my head has clicked about open guard, I feel I'm able to do some stuff better in open guard and open guard defence than ever before BUT it seems to create some muscle dysbalance (probably hip flexors and quads) that result in low back pains next morning after training.

Old age for sure as well :) But it is connected to me moving in a different (jiu jitsu wise better) way than previous :D

Sounds familiar. I used to tire out my back really fast when I was starting to implement open guard to my game more.. Had to stretch my glutes a bit and do some hip mobility work.

Happy Monday to all.
Short work week (4 days) for me.
Knee has more mobility. Exercises are helping.
Still plenty of pain but at least it's moving.
Have a great day!

FINALLY bought a LED light with integrated motion sensor for the bathroom and installed it. For such a small thing like it's a huge improvement on everyday life. The switch for the light is located on the outside. Don't need to think about that any more, just walk in and LET THERE BE LIGHT!

Also had a really good day at work. Helped a customer with his laptop, then mainly worked on the office Linux machine. Taught some grip fighting and potato takedowns for BJJ in the evening.

Good morning everyone!
Been at work since 4:30am and I love the quiet time. LOL
Would rather be sleeping to be honest.
Hope you all have a great day!

Anyone else enter lasso from side control? I've been getting bicep slicers from just standing up and controlling the near side sleeve and knee and going into lasso bicep slicer from top side. Seems strange but is working for some reason. Just getting the underhook, connecting the hands and turning into it
I have no idea what all of that means.

hello everyone

back at teaching after a long break, we did loop choke and some variations, from a student question

do you ask what they want to learn or you have a plannified lesson/cursus generally?
