Comments:

I'm getting stronger everyday. I have no idea what is going on, but I'm sure that all the frustrations that are going in my life right now are the reasons. I'm strictly going based on feeling on my strength and conditioning program right now. My explosiveness is going up on each lift and the bar speed is definitely improving through the deadlift.

I do have good news though, my family member had a successful surgery today and is recovering well. That made my day and I feel so relieved.

I took both 10th Planet Beginner classes at 5:30PM and 6:30PM. The first class, the instructor went over full guard recovery from side control, full guard recovery after opponent passes the guard to side control, side control transition to mount to swim move to spider web, and finally back tack to swim move to spider web. I got to help out and work on a couple of reps on each lesson. After that, we did live drills from side control, full mount, and from the back.

The next class, I did the warm ups, which consisted of a lot of jogging, lateral movement, single leg jumps, butt kickers, high knees, forward rolls, alligator walks, and duck walks. The lessons for today were butterfly guard to x-guard to x-guard sweep, modified capoiera pass from butterfly guard to side control, and Japanese Neck Tie set up when the opponent recovers from the north south position to turtle position. I got to rep everything, except for the Japanese Neck Tie. I even went around to help out others. The class was pretty good about getting to these positions and moving around through the transitions efficiently.
