My hands are exceptionally sore today. Last night, I just couldn’t keep my grips. I don’t know what was going on. Every time I tried to keep a strong sleeve or collar grip last night, my fingers would ache to the point where I had to let go. I was rolling with Josh and I was trying to set up a spider guard sweep and I just let go. I said to him, “Fuck! my fingers are killing me. I can’t keep a decent grip!” With a giant grin he replied, “That’s good to know.” He immediately shut down all my attempts at any sleeve grip without any worry. Sigh… Lol. It was still a great roll.
We did quite a bit of drilling, reviewing several lock flows and working on some shoulder throws and front face locks. I also had a very satisfying match with Sean. I was in real danger once (baseball choke), but did a good job to work my way out. I feel I pressured well and threatened a couple of chokes myself. Like I said, very satisfying.
