APH-2025-145

Overview:

• 8-Week Focus: * 8-Week Focus: Ben Galper Basic Grip Program
  • 4 session x 4 week program will take longer to allow for rest and grappling training.
• Weekly Objective: Adjust difficulty and develop follow-up training plan.

Assessment:

• Sleep Quantity (hours): 7
• Sleep Quality (1-5): 2
• Mood (1-5): 4
• Soreness (1-5): 1

Training:

• 5 x 5 minute rounds:
  • 1:1 work:rest

Review:

• Difficulty (1-10): 6
• Performance (1-10): 8
• Mat Hours: 1
• What worked well:
  • To let my elbow recover I only did one hard round, and the other 4 were very moderate and “playful.” This helped my mood, my elbow, and to build creativity – as the focus was to try techniques outside my normal repertoire.
• What didn’t work well:
  • I didn’t focus on guard passing, which needs to be the focus for my next grappling block.
• Plan for next time:
  • Open mat training should focus on developing my guard passing.
  • In class, continue to limit myself to the “move(s) of the day.”
