I am a 4 stripe blue belt who trains at a very small club, maybe 25 people on the books and 10-12 people in a normal class which runs twice a week. We are very white belt heavy at the moment (maybe about 8 at every training) so i don't get to roll with the coloured belts very often and when i do it's starting from the knees and staying in the same area because we are so cramped for space (we are looking for more space, but that takes time).
Anyway, one of my teammates is competing next month in the state titles so a few of us coloured belts got together on the weekend and really rolled hard! I had forgotten how much i love rolling like that. Really applying pressure, trying new things, rolling all over the mat.
I had been plateauing for a bit over the last few months which is frustrating but expected. I needed this to remind me of why i love this sport.
Anyone else find they get caught up too often in the techniques, drilling and positional rolling?
