Following on from a recent shoulder injury its time to take some time out on the run up to Christmas. Its a bit of a shame but I’m sure it will benefit my progress.
I always find that when takeing time out i come back with a new approach. A bit like when you sleep your can solve problems. Its time to let the subconscious train.
It about time too, I had a couple of competitions recently (No Gi) which I didnt fare too well in. The first one i got submitted in less than a minute by armbar and the second I gassed way too early.
I think I put too much pressure on myself to do well in the first and got really pissed off with myself for doing so bad. Then the second I felt I over trained the day before.
The ref is the guy who beat me at UMA Absolute
Ahh well, I’m also going to give the comps a rest for a while. I competed at a weight class higher than i should have done too. Weighing in at 66kg and fighting under 73.
Anyhow thats enough grovelling. I still got something out of both competitions and this break will give me a chance to work on some upcoming Artofjits projects including the first anniversary of the blog.
