First Post and Training Log

So, I've finally decided to keep record of my training online in blog form. Most convenient 'cause it can be written or accessed from anywhere with internet.

I'll be keeping record of anything that happens that is relevant to my BJJ game which I can reflect on. This will mostly, however, be boring training logs. This blog is admittedly more for my own use than anyone else's so it won't be as good of a read as Pesadelo's Blog
but maybe someone will be able to get some use out of it. I don't know.

Just a little background on me:
I'm a White Belt under black belt Wil Cunningham (Helio Gracie -> Jorge Pereira -> Paulo Guimaraes -> Wil Cunningham). I've been training since 28 July 2008 and have since won the NSW Juvenile White Belt over 73kg division.

Anyway, enough talk, on with the show..

Private Lesson with Wil Cunningham (Black belt) 8 November
Helio Gracie -> Jorge Pereira -> Paulo Guimaraes -> Wil Cunningham

Open Guard
Sweeps

Tripod Sweep
Got this technique well under my belt.
Things to remember:

• Turn right onto side
• Foot on hip facing towards other leg, not away
• Grab right on base of heel
• Foot hook right on base of other heel

Other sweeps briefly looked at.. specific details forgotten :(

Pushover
Foot behind knee
Helicopter (basic)
Backsweep (basic)


Monday Training Session 10 November

Got reaaaally nice tripod sweep on E.* with shin on hips. Also a perfect scissor sweep after not even having them work in previous trainings. Visualisation has really helped my game.

In training we worked step-around armbar from kneeride. Need to work on stepping over his other arm so that legs are in better position in armbar.

*Won't be revealing names of training partners other than first names.
