Theme & Techniques: Controlling the Center of the Ring
Partner: Fuji
We did a couple of drills with trying to step on our partner's foot kind of like thumb war. Pretty fun. This was Fuji's first session and it was nice partnering up with him again.
Then Nick got out the small cones to represent the center of the ring for each group. We then worked on maintaining the center or attempting to take the center. He also emphasized the FU Grip as a safe spot to control.
Sparring: Controlling Center Games, Stand-up Sparring
Sparred With: Will, Mike, Jerad, Fuji, Nick, Henry
We did some up/down/out style sparring trying to take the center. Then we padded up and it got more serious. I think I need to use more control on my front and side kicks as I'm still a bit rusty.
We worked a takedown by sliding in behind their leg. Didn't feel that good with it. We sparred a few rounds and I was exhausted. I did some good things and made some mistakes. I'm getting better at keeping my hands up but I have noticed that I drop my hands when I attack.
