I started off yesterday already a little sore. On Saturday, I had rolled with my Hapkido group in the morning and then again in the afternoon with Bill, the corrections trainer. Plus I also stood in a bar for several hours watching the UFC later that night. I probably would have skipped but both Bauer and Bill had said that he was going to try to make it to class, so I thought I should go. Bauer didn't show up unfortunately.
Per my request Ray had us work on breaking the turtle position and ended up having us each teach a method. I taught kind of a bowl over technique grabbing the far arm and ankle and then pushing with head and chest to put them into side control. Adam taught a better way that I will probably use in the future that puts a pretty mean crossface on while moving around their head. We did a few others that I was familiar with and Jerad obviously chose to teach the darce.
We trained from the position after that with 1 and 2 minute rounds, then we finished with up/down/out with guard passing. I took it pretty easy and kept my left leg away from danger for the most part. I watched Ray and Jerad roll a few times impressively. I ended up not rolling, didn't want to chance injury. Hopefully I'll be able to stop procrastinating and finally make the appointment to see the orthopedist.
