Fight the hands

DirtyWhiteGi — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:49:41 +0000

The past week I haven’t felt much success on the mats in the grappling area, most nights I feel I’m in survive mode. But I guess that can only be expected when you’re training against bigger guys. I think I just got that “small” man syndrome where I want/expect myself to be able to hang . . . → Read More: Fight the hands

The Long Road Back

DirtyWhiteGi — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:22:34 +0000

Sorry about the delays in between my posts. I’ve been a little busy showing a good friend on holiday around town and well, a little on the lazy side as well.

It seems that no matter how long you take off training, the road back is always longer. The first couple of weeks back . . . → Read More: The Long Road Back

First Week of training done

DirtyWhiteGi — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:45:30 +0000

It feels like some of the hard part is out of the way by just getting back into training. But I know there’s going to be more tough times ahead since some of the guys are preparing for fights which means everyone else will be grappling dummies/sparring partners.

First day back to training 2012

DirtyWhiteGi — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:38:28 +0000

Today was my first day back in training since I was in Darwin. It’s been about 3 weeks since then and even longer since I’ve been in proper intense training after hurting my elbow.

It felt sooo unbelievably good to be doing something physical again; using my mind AND body as one. I think I . . . → Read More: First day back to training 2012

The year that was 2011

DirtyWhiteGi — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:21:17 +0000

In just a few days it will be 2012. HOLY CRAP where did this year go? It went by so fast! But I have to say this has been a good year… probably one of the best I’ve had yet.

Despite a few little injuries (dislocated elbow) and minor health issues (ear infection), 2011 has . . . → Read More: The year that was 2011

Pictures: Darwin Trip

Just some random photos of my trip to Darwin. Weather there was nice and fine, if not a little hot and humid, but at least it only rained a couple times while I was up. Making it easy for me to get around.

Some cool grafitti they've put up on the "art walls" since . . . → Read More: Pictures: Darwin Trip

Check out this highlight from BJJHacks featuring purple belts the Miyao brothers. It’s full of lots of rolling, inverting spinning, sweeping and all sorts of crazy positions.

Final physio check up

DirtyWhiteGi — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:23:16 +0000

Well I had my final physio check up yesterday and it all went pretty good. She checked my range of motion, asked some general questions like if I’ve been having any problems and then we did more PNF stretches to get my extension back. Pretty much everything is all good and I can be left . . . → Read More: Final physio check up

Training BJJ & MMA with one arm

DirtyWhiteGi — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:55:03 +0000

Well, not really training with the injured arm but more about training around it. Rest is important when recovering from an injury but once that period has passed and you’re in the rehab stages it’s quite important to do your exercises if you want to get the full use of your limbs back.

It can . . . → Read More: Training BJJ & MMA with one arm
