Oh Geez

I think I pulled my groin muscle.  I didn't realize I had done anything until I took a break for a bit to drive from my judo class to my jiujitsu class.  As soon as I got out of the car I knew something was amiss.

Aside from the groin thing classes tonight were really good.  In judo we worked on a failed osoto to a harai goshi.  It was pretty cool.  I really like working on these throws.  I just wonder how long it will be before I can actually get a throw on someone in sparring.  I have yet to get someone but I know one of these days I will get it.  The cool thing is that every time I train I get a little closer.

I rolled with my friend Nick for a couple of rounds.  He has a big fight coming up so hopefully I'll get to train with him a bunch because he should be at the gym a lot over the next couple of months.  I almost got him in an inverted triangle.  I was on his back and managed to get my legs locked when he tried to go out the back door.  It feels pretty good to get stuff like that, even though Nick's skill level is so much higher than mine that I know I only get the sub attempts that he lets me get haha.

I rolled with a couple of other guys for a few minutes.  One of them took a heel to the face while we were rolling and there was blood all over the place.  I felt kind of bad.  It was not intentional and that sort of thing happens but I still felt bad.

We worked on butterfly sweep and passing the butterfly guard off the sweep attempt.  I was really glad we worked on the butterfly sweep today.  I really want to have good sweeps and I never work on them enough.  Also I noticed at least one detail of the sweep that I knew but I am pretty sure I don't do usually.  I think I almost always pull the person over me instead of falling more to the side.  I love when I leave class and see a mistake I have been making.

Ahhhh my groin muscle is so sore.  I'm taking some motrin and hitting the hay.
