Days 46 & 47

Yoga and Lifting
Doing the same 10 sun salutations every day would seem to get old after a while... but surprisingly has not. I am improving them every time and build up a good sweat and warm up and stretch very well each time. I did a leg workout and also a triceps, chest and shoulder workout. I've noticed the strength conditioning has really been an asset during ground work training.

Jujutsu
Good workout last night. I found that my timing is off on Katamune Tori. I need to strike harder and then get the katate tori grip solidly prior to stepping back into the take-down. My groundwork is feeling better as I get re-acclimated to it. I nearly ended class on a sour note as I was demonstrating Sankaku with my Sensai for a couple of other students. He reminded me not to lose the choke as I rolled him over. I was pre-occupied with re-setting the choke and was slow to react as he tapped out and he said I was quite close to choking him out. That would have been an unfortunate opportunity to show the students our revival seikatsu...
