Training Journal 6.16.08

Went to BJJ sparring class last night and got a little bit demoralized. It was one of those off days where all the guys who I usually tap more often than they tap me ended up getting me. I’ve had more luck taking the back lately, though my rear naked choke still leaves a little something to be desired.

I’ve been sleeping in more lately (I blame the lady) which means I’m getting started on my day around 12pm or so – which is the hottest time of the day, and in the Japanese summer, well, it practically destroys my motivation to exercise outside of practice. I’ll have to do something about that. I think I want to do more jump-rope work, maybe as a warmup – I need to put some cardio back in the schedule. Living too much of the good life, I suppose.
