Sometimes i have days where everything feels on point and i am really confident in my jiu jitsu, the past couple of days haven’t been like that. For some reason my timing has just felt off a little bit. It can definitely be frustrating when everything doesn’t feel like its working like it normally does. In my experience the only thing you can do is just persevere and keep training hard. Eventually you will have one of those days where u feel great and it will remind you why you loving training jiu jitsu. 

Training today at open mat was the best i felt all week. My first match was slower paced but more technical. It gave me the chance to think about every move i was making instead of just reacting. Starting out with that type of match definitely made me feel more confident in my other matches. My sweeps and guard passing felt pretty strong, i just have to remember to be patient when I’m in dominant positions. I need to capatalize on the dominant position or else its just a missed opportunity. Like always i will take the things from my matches that i need to improve  and work on them in training.
