alright starting training tomarrow

ok so today we did Upper Cuts
I'm told my Upper Cuts and Hooks are solid for my experience level but everything else is shit
I have trouble cutting off runners (and I need to do that as a charger) and my foot work in general sucks
also my cardio is shit
 
KANE -- try jumping rope.. Sounds gay.. you are going to look like a complete tool for a couple of weeks but it really is great -- your goal is to build up your time... I am up too 90 second rounds consistently with a weighted rope -- it is great... Now that the weather is nicer I go down to the park 3 -4 times a week... It is not even like work - I actually enjoy it... ALSO invest in an MP3 player that you can skip rope or run with... I wear mine all the time.. the workouts fly by... Conditioning will allow you to make up for skill.. If you have superior conditioning to a fighter who is more skilled than you are the fight will be closer than if you are both out of shape...
 
yah
right now I have been running up and down steps I have
(as opposed to running up and down steps that are not really there I guess)
and my instructor wants me to do sprints
another big problem is I hold my freaking breath for combinations...
dunno why
 
ok today I was told I learned 'a whole lot' in 8 days
I dunno if that was a compliment or not but I'll take what I can get
my punching is goign pretty well but I tend not to keep my hand up when my other hand is punching so that is annoying to me
as is my friend slapping me to remind me of it...
believe it or not I did pretty well on the ground today
I didn't tap anybody out or anything but I gave the instructors some problems
nothing major tho
I got through the instructors guard pretty easily but part of that was a size issue, he has trouble locking full guard in on me
and I 2 or 3 times got to a good possition for a half nelson choke (I think that's what it's called) and the third damn time the instructor goes, "I think we are going to have to teach you that submission" I was like 'I wish you would!'

I think on the ground punches are my best bet
and my good submissions would be Kimura/KeyLocks and that choke
 
my punching went ok
combos were pretty good
have trouble keeping my elbow up on a hook and instead of snapping it back I kinda let it slowly return and it comes low...
also I worked Bobbing and it went better but I still dont' think I have it
 
sounds like your getting a good mix of everything.

how many days a week are you training now and for how long?

are you doing any training outside the gym like lifting or running?

good luck
 
we do a lot of conditioning in the class so when I am used to that level of conditioning Im' going to get back into lifting
we train 2 or 3 days a week depending on what our scheduals all alow for
and we havef 2 hour classes
 
ok today (yesterday now since it is coming up on 1am here) we did a lot of punch combos and worked some slipping into a clinch and working around behind them for a slam
we also did some work for if they try to sacrifice throw me, countering and going to a takedown isntead of a slam
I did fair at the takedown part and pretty good at the slam potential, my slipping needs work tho
oh and we did some ground and pound training
my punches are iffy but my elbows are great if I do say so myself
I was working the guy on the bottom and he had two pads on and was still grunting and the instructor goes 'and just think he's holding back'
my right hand is ok for punching in g'n'p but my left is iffy
I'll work on that
also did some work trying to hold mount


oh and on a sadder note, my grandfather passed away
 
who me?
wher eelse would I be

anyway I wont be training thursday or friday like I normally would
back again on tuesday I hope
