82,7 - bjj from youtube and for real

I did my morning run and tabata even though it's a rainy day and working day also - so I'll ride my bike (kawa) to work and watch bjj on youtube as much as possible and in the evening I'll roll for real - slow roll ofcourse. I hope to recall some move during rolling. I'm happy if I catch my self even trying to do an attack. I have a lot of attacks on my mind, but execution is just not happening.

Did not make it to BJJ class - too tiered... maybe from work?
 

81,3 - it's raining

81,1 - jog, work, golf

I,m pleased with my self. I ran 2,2 km and did my tabata in the morning and it's a working day. My vacation is over, but I've booked a round of golf after work. Just to forget everything what happens during work.

81,1 - golf tournament

Just listened to Olympic games and one important comment from sportsmen was to have fun. I'll try to have fun today:) I've got a good example from my daughter - she won the Nordic championship in cruisers in BMX and came second in 20" bikes 17+ class. Congrats to Outi for yesterdays competition.

I was T6 - tied for 6. It's not bad, but not good either. (Only winning counts on that tournament...)

80,2 - jog, gym and mental bjj

I did some slow rolling yesterday. I am very bad in attacking my opponent. I just don't know where to begin. To get my game started I need to renew my game plan. Just decide an attack from some dominant positions. (Or a compilation of attacks...) AND drill those attacks so that I can do them first in slow rolling and later in free rolling.

81,4 - golf and bjj

I'll play golf and going to BJJ class today. BJJ will be slow roll. I have one of my main events on Sunday. If I win, I get to play at a tournament were the winner goes to Spain. I know that odds are against me, but in golf you never know.

81,1 - golf and gym (next season planning)

August starts and it's time to make plans for the next season training:

• Monday gym?
• I hope boxing will be on Tuesdays.
• BJJ on Wednesday.
• I'd like to do Judo. Maybe I'll start going to Darmakai's Thursday classes (starting from September?).
• BJJ on Friday.
• Saturday... recovery/gym?
• Sunday BJJ 

Looks good, but I need to add some heavy-bag  workouts and tabata. Maybe aerobic workouts could be done commuting to and from work.

August is still golf competition season. From September golf competitions are over, but golf season continues so I'll just skip some workout sessions/classes and play golf.

Goals:
Legs need to be stronger.
Aerobic ability needs to be better.
Kicks need to be more balanced.

Getting back home

Helsinki

Helsinki

Knee on belly should be escaped as soon as possible:)

80,4 - "Recovery" , gym and BJJ

My smashing test in golf worked fine. I scored my usual - just in the buffer, but very long drives - long for me that is:) I'll visit Helsinki for few days: no golf and no bjj - not even youtube.

I just noticed on my morning run that I need to go to gym - otherwise I will have a long break from gym. Next possible workout is on Thursday. So I'll do a workout today.
OK - we are leaving tomorrow - so I have time to go to BJJ and play golf next morning. Not really a recovery day:)

80 - Letting go at golf course

After 4 days tournament, today I'll go and play careless golf and punish my golf balls a little. I'll dig some dirt with my clubs and enjoy the beautiful weather. Next weekend is an important competition - grand prize is to play in Spain or compete for the possibility.

No Bjj today - unless watching youtube counts:)

80,5 - final day of golf tournament

I was 15th. It was not good, but not bad either.

80 - third day of the tournament

80,5 - second day

After second day I am 15th of 60 players. I would be happy to be in top ten after 4 days. Golf is strange - Some times every thing is easy and you score well, but ...

80,6 - First golf tournament day

Life-score of the competition is at
http://www.nexgolf.fi/mgs/livescoring.nxg?s=610
I don't have much expectations for this tournament. My game is very unstable. It means that sometimes I play very well for 9 holes, but it has not lasted for a full round. OK - tournament is 4 full rounds so I can expect some not so perfect holes.

80,9 - recovery

I did my morning run and tabatas. Today is recovery and rest of the week is a 4 day golf tournament. If I had a rolling partner I would go slow rolling. I really have to get someone to roll with me. I am hoping that Autumn will change that. Folk comes back from summer vacation fat and eager to roll:)

Today was a great day for slow roll. It was just what I needed - need to do this more often:) ... every day would be make some progress on my rolling.

81,3 - golf and maybe bjj

Bjj class is straight after a round of golf. Previous experience tells me that I might not make it, but you'll never know. I am still trying to figure out how to get people to drill techniques with me. Gracie combatives was not the answer, maybe Ribeiro's book or Ryan Halls DVD is? (I am getting better at imagining the techniques so maybe I can do the drills just as a mental exercises:)

80,8 - old man gross fit or gym

Yesterday was a good day at bjj class. It was slow roll or at least low intensity. I noticed that if I start attacking, my defense sucks. This means that I need to attack more - but after I have a controlled position. No worries - it will come...eventually.

81,2 - golf and bjj

I'm skipping my morning run and playing golf a little earlier. My intention is get to my bjj class. I'll try to slow roll with everyone - or play defensive positions ( as I always do).

Today my plan worked.
