I'm a white belt.
A 32 year old PhD student. My wife and I just started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in January, 2010, because she thought it would be a good "couples activity".
That means I'm generally a nerd, and as far as BJJ goes, I'm a total beginner!
If training doesn't kill me, I thought I'd like to have this journal to track my experience...
Wish me luck!
Warm up
Technique: single leg takedown defense; side control escape; kesa gatame - survival and escape
Roll: 4 x 5 min
good roll. I tried some closed guard stuff from my JJU book: swinging leg way out in triangle; flower sweep improvements; sleeve choke.
Didn’t do so well v. bigger guys. Have to work on paying attention to opportunities, and moving quickly.
