Doctors predict she will pass in her sleep. Hope so.

Thanks, she passed in her sleep.

The older you get the more injuries and longer the recovery

Good lord, does that ring true. The last few years, it’s like my body just decided it had had enough and was tapping out. Unfortunately for it, my brain is stupidly stubborn and just pushes my body through pain, trauma and injury. I’ve been there with the knees (blow outs and surgeries). You’ll get back out on the mats soon. Good luck.

Thanks, she passed in her sleep.

Lost my passport. No idea how that happened. Fck.

It's Drill-Cember for us! First week is Submissions. 50 reps a day per technique. - Arm bar - Triangle Choke - Kimura - Guillotine Choke - Straight Ankle lock

I understand all those except kimura. Do people really need to rep Kimura that much?

In general, my philosophy is to drill the hell out anything you care to do well.

50 reps? I'd die of boredom and would've never stuck with BJJ if classes had been rep-based. :D But it's just me.

I’m kind of the opposite. While high rep training can get a little boring, I find that it is the best way for me to learn.

I need to add at least some resistance ASAP. Call it 'micro-drilling' if you want. We worked on K-guard yesterday. I learned some really cool stuff both offensively and defensively. I'll give an example how we go: Drill was for the BOTTOM person to drill K-guard. 4 minutes at a time. I for example moved into the position where I have the underhook on the leg, my one leg is in the K position and the other hook is in their ampit and then it was GO. Me trying to go for the finishes (sweep, take the back, heelhook) and opponent tries to escape.

Went to see Orthopedic Surgeon yesterday. He thinks I need to get arthroscopic surgery on my left knee MCL. Set me up for an MRI to confirm. If needed, I will get it done but I'm not happy about the recovery time. Been in worse situations but still sucks. Getting older sucks

By the way - it was cool that I found out that one of my main attacks from that position ended up being the omoplata while in general I'm not an 'omoplata guy' at all and rarely go for it in sparring AND don't remember the last time I repped it. However in that K-guard drill I actually went for it ca 10 times in 8 minutes and succeeded about 6-7 times.

Is there an instructional you are using / would recommend? I've been curious as a closed guard player to add this to my game so to speak.

Sir to hear that. Hope all goes well and you are back on the mats soon!
