assateague - waist/chest.  pretty clean in the morning.  surfed in the morn, caught a few good ones and took the bodyboard out in the afternoon

Assateague - Surfed and bodyboarded for around 2.5 hours.  Waves were waist to chest high and semi clean.

visited becca’s 2nd grade class today to teach them about surfing, the ocean, and sea life.  It was funny as the students are a riot.  Teaching 2nd grade is much different than teaching college:)

Becca and I saw it last night…not as good as the others but it was entertaining.  I think I just didnt like the whole alien thing

This is a busy week….

1.  My last bjj class for the summer is tonight.  I thought last wednesday would be my last class, but I am making time to go tonight, plus we are in a new facility so I am excited to check it out.

2. I have several meetings and things to wrap up on tuesday.  I need to go on campus and take care of some paperwork as well.  From then on, all of my meetings are vitual:)

3. I have to pack up my house for the summer.

4. I have to drive to lewisburg on thursday

5. I leave to VA on friday and wont be back in PA until late August

My last BJJ for the next 12 weeks.  I will be off to the shore and cant train.  O well, I will at least have something to look forward to when I return to state college.  Last night we had a purple belt teach class.  We right drilled a double leg takedown into side control.  Then we worked on getting someones back when they are in your guard and stand up to stack you.  From the back we learned a collar choke and a hand choke.  We also worked on an armbar from the back.

Worked on 2 arm locks from side control.  I need to work on getting my leg over during the arm bar.  I also worked on my break from guard into side control when we were rolling.  I need to remember that when I hook both legs that I need to put my knees in their back and when I start walking to the side, I need to keep my hip tight into their so they cant squeeze my head with their legs and choke me out.

Went surfing today in belmar (tourist central).  Waves were way too small (knee high) but it was so nice out, I was just happy to paddle out.  Didnt wear gloves and regretted it when I got into the water and it was ice cold.  Waves should be bad all weekend, so maybe I will take the bodyboard out.  lots of tourists out already.  Some were even swimming in the ocean…lol

Great night last night although I am paying for it today as my body is killing me.  we started with light rolling and then learned how to get out of someone’s side control and get them into half guard or take their backs.  Things I am learning are finally starting to connect as i am rolling although I still get too tired too quick to be able to roll effectively after 1-2 matches

Last night we worked on sweeps from the half guard.  I also got side control during rolling and didnt get submitted during my first match against a larger opponent.  My defense is getting better, but I just keep getting too tired after 1-2 matches and cant continue because my strentgh is drained.  I need to learn how to conserve my energy.  I also need to learn more submissions.  After I got side control I didnt have a submission for it…although I guess I could have went for the choke. I went for side control during my second match and ended up getting my head crushed pretty bad.  It still hurts this morning.  I also have a cut on my hand which bled all over my uniform.  I couldnt tell you how I got it, just that it happend from rolling.
