- Weekly Objective:
- Fitness sessions should include neck / spine work, animal movements (Budokon), and hamstring stretches.

Review:

- Performance (1-10): 7
- Mat Hours: 1.5
- What worked well?
- I’m still very good at attacking and defending the back in a Gi.
- What didn’t work?
- When passing I got swept and nearly choked (separately, though I gave up a sweep to avoid the choke), but it was because I leaned heavy into a cross grip under my chin. That isn’t possible or something you have to worry about in NoGi.
- Plan for next time?
- I want to continue to put more time in on the mats, so that will likely mean a regular Monday Gi class. However, it could also mean a Sunday open mat in Sandy Springs.
