Welcome to 2024!
A bunch of us at the training center decided to go to the center this morning to get a rolling session in on the first of the year.
No classes or instruction, just straight rolling.
Rolled for about an hour and a half with 7 minute rounds.
Afterwards we all grabbed lunch together and had a good time socializing.
Heckuva workout, and a great way to welcome in the new year.
Rolling? What is that?
ReplyDeleteHNY Aaron!
doubletrouble: HNY to U2! Rolling is the jiu jitsu term for open sparring.
ReplyDeleteBasically it is a grappling session and attempting to defend oneself and submit an opponent during the roll.
It can be an all-out intense spar, or it can be a softer flow-rolling spar where you work on techniques and movement and are less bent on hammering in a submission.
Thanks Aaron, I did not know that, not having participated in civilian martial arts.
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks for your diving info & pics; I grew up with “Sea Hunt” & was an avid snorkeler in those days, & always wanted to ‘go deep’!
