Good training today. I worked with Fuji, Robert, Ken, and James. Claire was there too, but left after one roll. Today was a little disappointing to my ego. About the only really good thing was I did a sitout on Robert that surprised him, however I didn't remember doing it. My main focus this morning was to always be moving and be aggressive.
Fuji dominated me again. He started with a Judo throw right into side control. I tried to focus on breaking collar grips and he gave me some pointers from there. His knee on belly/collar choke was one of the worst experiences of the morning.
Fuji also gave me some good coaching while I was rolling with others. I found it difficult to follow some of his directions at times. I know the person that is coaching me is trying to help me but it's frustrating when I can't meet their expectations so I often get a little angry at the coach. Like if I hear "turn into him" several times in a row and I've tried to turn into them but failed I'm not sure if I should keep listening to the coach or try something else. Plus I have this please everyone complex that makes me feel bad if I let the coach down.
My desire to improve my wrestling has continued. I tried to start standing with everyone. Ken and I worked on some sitouts from sprawl position. I was always trying to stand back up or get to turtle instead of just laying back into halfguard like I normally do. Just got to keep working on what I'm not good at.
the wrestling isn't going to happen over night, just like jiu-jitsu.
