Tournament Prep

Sorry this is late.  I knew I was forgetting to do something.

Warm up, then drilling takedowns.  Ten hip throws, ten double legs, and ten single legs.  Claire just watched class since she wasn't feeling great, so I partnered with Katie.  Our technique for the night was a defense against the single leg and a takedown from there.  I'm pretty sure we did another technique before more drilling, but I don't remember what it was.  Some more drilling for the tournament, then rolling.

I only rolled four rounds.  Two with white belts, one with a blue, and one with Caleb.  Caleb put me in some weird positions during our roll.  I think one was 50/50 guard, but I've only ever heard of it, so I'm not quite sure.

Another tournament this weekend.  This one's a new one, Newbreed.  It's another small tournament, so I suspect I'll be against boys again, but that's okay.  I got some extra practice with my takedowns (Gi and No-Gi), so I'm hoping I won't make another dumb mistake (in a takedown at least.)
