I am pretty sure i have a little bit of cauliflower ear starting... which i can't lie, is not the most comfortable thing to have. Granted it is part of the game. My plan of attack? Take my younger brother's old wrestling headgear and use it in training from now on.
Sunday night no gi at hawaii's house was definitely interesting. What normally happens is we go out to hawaiis house, pull the mats into the living room and have a full few hours of no gi. not so many techniques, mostly just sparring and helping each other out. This past time we started at about 9 pm and did not finish until 2 am. The only catch is, other than hawaii there is rarely more than one or two of us who actually train bjj, the rest are friends who just like to spar. So sometimes it gets a little rough. This past sunday was one of these times, I got roughed up a bit by a few of the guys who hadn't sparred with me since january, and lost a layer of skin off one of my ears. I woke up monday stiff and sore but it was well worth it. Monday practice was again alittle rough, our class times changed, and I sparred against Vanessa, and Hawaii for my two hard matches... I wasn't reacting well, and felt like i was in a little bit of a slump. So i ended up taking tuesday off, as a full recovery. I really need to start turning on the pressure, playing tight and going for moves. Marcello commented that I have been backing off too much and not attacking. So I eed to start getting it together
But now the big news, I applied tuesday for my visa to train in Brazil with my coach coming up July 8th! i cannot wait to spend a week training in the bjj home land!! I need to really work out and train hard these next two weeks to get ready!
