The High Noon Jiu Jitsu Club ...
I was trying to imagine an extra, 30-minute jiu jitsu class I could take at lunch 5x a week in some ideal world ...
6 minute warmup
M: bodyweight DB complexes, three sets
T: "jiu jitsu complexes", three sets
W: ab focus
R: "jiu jitsu complexes", three sets
F: bodyweight DB complexes, three sets
3 min drills
MWF: throws (M: trip-based, W: shoulder, hip-based, F: double and single legs; arm drags)
TR: armbar from guard, armbar from mount
6 min specific
M: rear mount
T: guard
W: side control
R: guard
F: rear mount
6 min spar
6 min spar
3 min stretch (I'd make it an organized stretch since it's the best time to do it and nobody spends as much time stretching after a workout as they should, etc.)
It's more of a training than a class, I guess. Most blue and purples could easily lead a session like this. I also thought about making Friday a "no gi" day, but whatever. The idea is how nice it would be to be able to get a booster shot of jiu jitsu every week (every day!) without committing weekends or more weekday nights.
I think a 3x a week evening schedule is enough for steady improvement. But ideally 4x a week, somewhere around nine hours, seems more of the minimum if you've got a little ambition--or a lot of impatience. I don't want to begrudge the time I've got; if it weren't for the Tully's location being so ridiculously close to home in the first place, I might have wound up training judo in the ID. Of course, now I'd drive to Everett if I had to for jiu jitsu (as one of our purple belts does)--at least twice between Sundays ...
But as it is, squeezing the week for another two or three hours would still be pretty damn sweet.
