Too much of a good thing? ... Nah.

Jujitsu blows my mind. Yesterday I spent three + hours at the Krav studio. After two pretty heavy traditional Krav workouts I went to the grappling class. From that class I have learned while I have more power and resistance than almost all the folks on the mat I don't currently have the speed and agility to do pure ground fighting well. I can over power most of my opponents putting them in awkward positions and breaking their holds but, I can't seem to swing my legs around quick enough to get any sort of bar or choke other than directly from the front. I still feel the frustration of having a body that doesn't perform like it used to. All the extra weight and lack of flexibility makes a lot of the locks difficult to position. However, I think my striking and standing game is getting to an acceptable level. So like everything else I need to keep working on all the pieces while adding more emphasis on the things giving me trouble.

P.S. On the up side I found I can knock Peterson 20 paces with a single strike.
