The other night at The Foundry I felt really good. I had taken a few nights off this past week from BJJ to rest and get rid of some of the soreness in my body. Teaching and going to class 4-5 times a week can start to take its toll after a month or two. I felt refreshed and recharged. I didn’t get a ton of submissions or anything like that, but I felt my body was just doing what I was asking it to.

Sometimes after a roll I have tons of thoughts like “man I wanted to do this or that, but just couldn’t.” Or sometimes I think “maybe if I was just a little bit stronger or faster I could have swept that person.” This last class though was not like that. I stepped off the mats with an empty mind, and a feeling of everything is where it should be. This is what I consider a great rolling session.
