First Blood

Jeff: I want larger heavier folks partnered with someone their own size...I mean I want these two guys (SS and a new person) together.

BCCF: What about freakishly tall people like me, sir.

Jeff: You're with Laura!

Highlights: Bloody nose, getting choked up close an personal and getting freaked out when my switch went on, Ramona Death march with Jeff the carried partner for BCCF, Dumpster Dancing with Nichole and BCCF. Nichole kicks a**!!!!

----------
The workout was sooo tough today. Started with 2 laps and the warmup drill - partners try to touch knees, then shoulders then both. Stretching.

Then the fun started:

Inside defenses
Double leg TD defense.
Combination Inside and TD defenses (this is where I got the bloody nose - Miss A got my nose with her forehead, I got her cheek with my TEETH!)

then the Aggression Drill: Flash mitts for 4 straight punches.
Then knees and kicking to a horizontal target: Double Knees + Front Kick

Then the Ramona Death March:
Partner A holds Mitt for 10 straight punches from Partner B. Then Partner B picks up Partner A and carries for 5 steps. Repeat for 100 meters.

Come back in for Choke Defense - One handed choke defense + combatives. Arlene is a tough partner. She made it really lifelike, choking me up close like an real attacker might. Made me break the choke for real and drive her back. At one point I just went from drill mode to survival mode. It kind of freaked me out.

Then BACK OUTSIDE for the following drill:
3 person groups
Person One is the defender.
Person Two Chokes - Person One breaks the choke with combatives to rive off choker.
Person Three approaches with Kicking Shield - Person one defends with Front defensive kick and combatives.
This one was me, Arlene and Nichole. Nichole is really really strong and tough. She is AWESOME. We worked against the dumbster because I thought it would make it like an alley fight. hahah. It was fun.

I love having Arlene for my partner. She makes me work so HARD!
