What Nietzsche said...

Gone back to training this week after missing out several sessions due to injuries picked up in the last couple of classes. Turned out to be that at least 5 others were injured at some point since then. Keith had a possible broken toe, Jack came last Wednesday to say that he tore his rotator cuff muscle, and Brummie Sam injured his groin muscle playing footie tge other day. Kevin was concerned at the rate of injuries this past couple of weeks, though claims that this sport has got a high rate of injuries due to the nature of the classes.

So, bearing that in mind, I decided to focus more on the techniques and be mindful of how I roll later. Fortunately, Elliot was there and we were able to drill techniques, him being considerate of my tweaked shoulder and back.

Kevin took the class and explained the concept of BJJ thru the techniques. Buttterfly guard and sweeps, pummelling, and takedowns. The concept of sensitivity, tactileness and fluidity thru the use of the above techniques. Again, as before, it is not about waiting for the perfect moment to execute the technique, but to be consciously aware of your opponent's position with regards to yours. Through this, you then can formulate actions that take advantage of that position. He said that he likes using the butterfly guard as it works well wiwith his body frame and limb length. Generally, asians and orientals are average in height and reach, so this technique works well in this regard. Something very relevant to me, me thinks...
