Tonight I was that guy that came to class with some form of ring worm and I'm pissed at myself for it. I did notice some redness on the top of my foot but didn't really think that I would have ringworm. It's said to be very contagious and can spread through a gym relatively easily. So I hope I haven't spread it to anyone else. I trained for a little bit before Greg noticed it and then I taped my feet up.
After our warm-up we did some shoulder throws with fitting in and then finishing the throw. After that we worked on armbar from the guard. I didn't have any real issues with this except I'd forget to place my hand on the collar sometimes, my habit previously was to underhook the leg, so I have to get over that. We worked on the guillotine from guard following that. Adam and I took turns choking each other, which is always fun. I did have issues remembering to put my leg up around the body to prevent escape.
Greg suggested I sit out of king of the mat and I agreed with. It sucked but I just watched. I saw some good things from the new guys especially Brian. He did a lot of twisting to prevent some sweeps. He had some good battles with Adam and Mike. I witnessed some of other new guys picking up on some things as well. There were quite a few hip heists being completed, so much so that Mike, Greg, and Jerad gave some pointers about posture in the guard after class.
I stopped by Walgreens on my way home and got some anti-fungal cream. I applied it as well as some spray that I have as soon as I got home. Hopefully that will take care of this issue. I have been missing some good training lately.
