Physically have yellow belt now!

today was a great class. We did an awful warm up with jumping rope and various agility ladder things. Walking plyo push ups down a ladder is just all sorts of awful. Then I finally physically got my yellow belt today which was great, it feels more official now.

We gi'ed up and did lots of repetitions of 'hip control' stuff. We started with small groups doing a waist lock take down then moved to a round robing thing where one person is in  the middle and will get attacked one by one by everyone in the class and they have to use the move we just practiced. Then we did a standing arm drag in small groups followed by round robin again. Our last exercise of the night was a standing triangle to a single leg reap to an armbar. Again first in small groups then round robin. Somewhere in there I grappled with T who is due for his black belt soon towards the end of the month. I ended up getting rear naked choked.

All in all tonight was full of fun shenanigans and I loved it. We ended with some stretching and discussion about the upcoming grappling tournament. I left feeling energized and excitedly waiting for the tourney coming up. I don't know an official date yet but somewhere in mid November.
