MMA, tonight
Lots of level-changing drills, and those just wear you plum out! Cool thing, though, was I finally got shots over my right foot. The big toe there, for whatever odd reason, hasn't wanted to bend properly for shooting, so I've always done it with my left foot forward; but then Karate College changed my stance to right foot forward, and my head's been messed up ever since. (Not that it was ever right to start with.
)
We also did
very light contact sparring, including kicks; you were barely hitting the guy. Working on movement. Didn't do so great on the movement part. But my kicks--wohoo.
That right foot in front makes all the difference. I was sparring one of the instructors, and at one point he said, "Man, those are coming out of nowhere!" Hehe.
Rolled with spazzing new guy from Tuesday afterward. He just grabs a wrist and flings his legs up, hoping to land in either an armbar or triangle. He can sometimes force me in to it; sometimes I can defend it and get around. After he'd tried that same thing a few times, and I was tired of it, I said, "Okay, so you know that armbar and triangle. Try working something else." He said, "Oh, yeah, good idea... . I don't know anything from here, though." I said, "Sure you do: that sweep we learned on Tuesday."
Oh yeah... So I walked him through the sweep and the armbar after for a few minutes. He actually loosened up and worked technique.
After class, one of my guys said he nearly stepped in and stopped our roll because the guy was pushing me around. I said no worries, I sorted him out.
Working my free form tomorrow; TKD testing on Saturday. Then back to BJJ Monday.
