I'd at least try it. My trek is around 30 minutes, but granted, it's on my way to work.

Happy New Years guys!

So I did absolutely nothing for my whole winter break, and to top things off, I ate what I wanted, drank what I wanted, and therefore took two steps back. Going back to Jits today felt so awesome. Cardio was a bit off and strength was not as high as usual either.

I am rolling much better though, smoother and more technique. I learned 2 new cool leg locks today as well: A calf slicer from a lockedown half guard, and the other one I did not get a name, but it appears to attack the groin area and one of the knees.

Rolling:
1st partner ( white belt ). I tapped to a lapel choke, but returned with a kimura to tap my partner out. I had an easy time passing guard and attempting the north south choke, but I could not seal the deal.

2nd partner ( blue belt ). Battled for position mostly, but I got one sweep in, which was cool. Time expired for a draw, with no submissions from either of us.

3rd partner ( blue belt ). ( should have been my 4th, but I sat out a round ). This guy is a beast, he wrestled before and all the times I have rolled with him, I have gotten my butt kicked. 1st time we rolled I think he submitted me twice, maybe 3 times. 2nd time we rolled, I tapped due to exhaustion, but I did exceptionally better that time. Today was the 3rd time rolling with him. I got in his guard, he pulls a nice sweep and battles for side and mount, which he gets eventually. He goes for an armbar and I roll out of it and get on top of him, while he is on all fours. He gets out, gets mount and goes for that armbar again, which he locks in this time and I tap. Time runs out. This guy is making me better and I really appreciate that.

4th partner ( white belt. Same guy as round 1. Both exhausted, I quickly gain side control and go for the kimura again, but this time he does not tap. I don't go after it and we go back to guard. Time runs out. Great day of rolling.

Post rolling- I try to do the monkey bars, but can't really muster the get up and go to do it.

Go to my other gym ( traditional weights and stuff ) and sit in the wet and dry sauna for a little over 6 minutes ( 5 in the wet, the rest in the dry ). I feel like this is helping. You sweat out the toxins, and hopefully the lungs get a little cleaning action from the wet sauna as well.

Nutrition: Had my pre/intra/post shakes ( thats a lot of water, about 60 ounces ). As of now I am so not hungry. I will do a shake just to get something in me and later on I will have grilled chicken with veggies.

Gonna try and do jits tomorrow and friday.
