It was a demoralizing loss but it truely has made me want to work harder than ever. I think plateau's test your dedication to what your doing, and if you overcome the plateau then you know your heart is in it.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496739942189672685.post-10343870438319887042009-03-10T00:55:00.000-05:002009-03-10T00:55:00.000-05:00Andy Mac is EVERYBODY'S "Bubba" reight now, or so it seems. strange huh?

Most of mine come from a particular "bubba" who just started coming back in. He's just tough!! That however makes me want to get that much better and exploits the holes in my game.

The time you got the Mir lock on me was the other one. Both earned but left me less than amused at my mistakes. I don't mind tapping but there are definitely times when you feel almost stupid for making such mistakes. Oh well, just an ego check I guess. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Big AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496739942189672685.post-17888660136641982522009-03-09T11:37:00.000-05:002009-03-09T11:37:00.000-05:00I think I saw that one, Andy. You had "Bubba" in side control and he pulled out some bent arm lock with his legs from the bottom. I hate to bring this up, but "Bubba" seems to be the source of many of our woes...and he thinks he's in a plateau! Of course, Bubba could be anyone.Conanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03574148083679060117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496739942189672685.post-81045283874309084782009-03-09T11:04:00.000-05:002009-03-09T11:04:00.000-05:00Good article and I actually had to tap to an arm bar when I was in side control Friday! I was moaning like a sick little puppy from that thing. I think it’s an unwritten rule that if you get caught in an arm bar while you’re in side control, you are officially at/in a plateau. <BR/><BR/>Big AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496739942189672685.post-10629503169189378452009-03-09T08:42:00.000-05:002009-03-09T08:42:00.000-05:00hey, its the name given in the article to the person that taps you with the same submission.<BR/>blame the author, not me.Brenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15739774717988426010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496739942189672685.post-47006513531747766722009-03-09T05:55:00.000-05:002009-03-09T05:55:00.000-05:00Bubba, huh?sankakushimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539067383619270762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496739942189672685.post-79045287911949028302009-03-08T23:56:00.000-05:002009-03-08T23:56:00.000-05:00oh man, i forgot about that guy. i still don't understand the reason for the pins in his face.<BR/>i think he could take freddie, but not jason. jason is just too vicious for anyone else, including michael myers.Brenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15739774717988426010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496739942189672685.post-57590242254848575562009-03-08T22:39:00.000-05:002009-03-08T22:39:00.000-05:00That is too funny!

For example I might start the class thinking about working on sweeps. During open mat I might get several good sweeps, but I end up playing around too long in dangerous positions, and get tapped out. While I may have accomplished my goal of getting sweeps, I got tapped and end up feeling like I lost. I tend to try and go back to a step by step approach when in a slump, ie 1 get posture, 2 break guard, 3 pass first leg, etc. This gets me back into the right mindset to begin working on the different parts of my game I feel need improvement. <BR/>I am curious to hear how other people get back in the groove.Jeradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15006104100186332949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496739942189672685.post-18993361887961085742009-03-08T21:13:00.000-05:002009-03-08T21:13:00.000-05:00good article and ideas.<BR/>my bubba is ray. and his technique is his stink'in footlocks.<BR/>my new focus is footlock defense, bubba-ray.Brenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15739774717988426010noreply@blogger.com
