I was doing so well!! So well!! I had been doing daily doubles (7 am class and the 6:30 pm class) three times a week, and really progressing. I even gave a big guy such a run for his money defending his guard pass that I got walloped on the head during his smash pass and was out with a jacked up neck for a few days. During the jacked up neck healing phase, I came down with the flu and am just now feeling better. I missed Women's Open Mat because of it. LAME!!
Here's the great part: I feel like I've finally passed whatever BJJ block I was going through. During the last class I was able to go to on Friday morning, right before the head wallop, I realized how interchangeable the butterfly hook sweep and scissor sweep are. I was getting my grips for the hook sweep on a monster of a guy -- he's just under 6 feet and about 240 pounds -- and realized that a better option than flipping him with my leg was to push isolate his left arm, push back his left knee, and knock him over that way. I didn't do it (remember? Wallop. Smash.) because I wasn't thinking quickly enough, but I did see it.
I'm really excited that I'm feeling better the last few hours. I feel like tomorrow is another two a day, coming my way. And maybe I'll nail that scissor sweep.
