Day one, again

Today was my first day back on the mat in almost two weeks.

I felt like the technique was still there, but the cardio definitely has some catching up to do after being in bed for a week!

Today's techniques-
-judo headlock hip throw
-spinning arm bar- hand in collar
-spinning arm bar- 2 on 1
-triangle from guard

A few things I noticed-

-pushing/pulling motions in guard give subtle advantages that allow sweeps, submissions, better position, etc.
-half guard- have to get opponent off balance and not let them settle their weight. rocking back and forth, front and back, etc. to get them to base and rebase while trying to hit sweeps or simply replace guard.
-something i saw from cobrinha- from shin spider guard- kick one leg through and clamp knee down on shoulder, setting up omoplata.

just gotta get back on the mats and get the cardio/timing/technique down better.

goal- one week from today, i want to be back in fighting shape.

next time i feel a sickness creeping up, i have to take care of my body!
