BJJ Session # 28 – Break

I was sick last week and as a result had about a 10 day break between BJJ sessions. Sometimes it’s good to take a break from something that’s ongoing. They say a break is as good as a change, probably due to the fresh look it provides. Sometimes a break comes at the wrong time and lose momentum you’ve built up and you struggle to get back in sync. My break was neither, and other than feeling physically tired during class (laying down for the better part of 4 days straight will do that) I felt pretty good, all things considered.  We started with some self defense themed grip breaks (holding the wrist), then some wrist and elbow locks and ended with an escape from back control.
