Assessment:

Review:

• Difficulty (1-10): 8
• Performance (1-10): 8
• Mat Hours: 1.5
• What worked well:
  • Comp Round 1: Shot during points, lost the scrimmage and ended up on half-guard bottom, won by toe-hold on secondary leg from double-outside ashi.
  • Comp Round 2: Shot during points, got sprawled on, did good getting my butt up from front-headlock position, which setup a Victor’s roll when my partner tried to go behind; won by outside heelhook from double-outside ashi.
  • Comp Round 3: Shot during points, got sprawled on and caught in a guillotine; pulled guard to attempt dog-bar kneebar which earned me a sweep or pass (I don’t think I would have been penalized for pulling guard into an attack). I didn’t submit, but played good tactic, racking up points between passing, knee on belly, and mount.
  • Positional Round 1: Finished my partner, and escaped.
  • Positional Round 3: Escaped, didn’t finish my partner, but played good tactics to accumulate points.
• What didn’t work well:
  • Positional Round 2: I escaped successfully, but so did my partner; no finishes.
  • Overall my conditioning felt good, I tried to be mindful of actively controlling my breath during rest rounds, but this will take some focus and something I need to be mindful of working through a bracket.
  • I could have done a better job increasing the pace throughout the first periods. I stuck to my strategy, but stayed at the same pace. Ideally I want to be wearing down my opponents during the first half.
• Plan for next time:
  • Saturday is the last hard day of camp, so I just want to clean up my strategy and keep the hard rounds to just a few like tonight.
  • Monday will be the final technical adjustments.
  • Wednesday will just be for light movement.
