Fat, slow and rusty... time to train again

So I had a pretty long hiatus from 10th Planet Montreal. I'll be heading back there as soon as I get my next pay cheque in a week.

Looking forward to it!

On top of all the BJJ 101 stuff I'll be prioritizing:
- At least 3 kinds of Guard Passes
- Keeping heavy on top/staying super close when advancing position
- Rubber Guard path
- Pyramid > Triangles
- Arm drags (I SUCK)
- General spacial body awareness for submission defense and sweep defense

What do you guys like to work on once you get back to it?
Have any suggestions for me?
Has anything huge changed in the past two years?

-Creating space
-Working on pressure passing and under passes, always looking to pass and have more effective passing strategy.
-Locking the shoulder in closed guard
-Keeping posture and above all RELAX, I found I am not strong enough to impliment a strength base game, so technique would probably serve me better :)
-Working mental aspects, execution, confidence, conviction in completing the technique
-Survival, love Saulo Ribeiro's theories on white belts and being able to survive.

Burpees, Bear Crawls, pushups and sit ups. Fruits and Vegetables.

Pass, pass, pass :)

awesome.

you montreal guys always seems to be funny and have intelligent opinions. Im guessing you have a better educational system.

@ Aaron:
Well 90% of our education is subsidized by the government over here. I'm still an ignorant college drop-out though. XD Straight to the workforce for me.

@ Mike:
Doooooooooooooon't eeeeeeeeeat meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!~ ; _ ;
Seriously though, I plan on rolling a lot to get back into it. I have some love handles to lose.

It's gotta be great to have a government that wants its people to be educated and not sick. Even if it's not perfect. :)

@ Kyle:
Well we have a Satanist (I'm speculating here, of course) for our federal leader and Pennywise the Dancing Clown for our provincial leader. It's definitely not perfect right now, lol. Still happy to be Canadian though!
