Light jiu jitsu 2 days per week plus One day full sparring of grappling one day sparring with strikes and clinch work. 2-3 days functional patterns strength training. Every morning pray the rosary wherein I incorporate some breath work. Would like to work in some meditation and breath of fire like James demonstrated and posted about. All of the above is assuming I don’t have work or family commitments. The rosary is non negotiable though. If I don’t do it upon waking, I get it in at some point before I fall asleep that night.

Lucid dream training
When I was competing a lot I spent a couple years learning to lucid dream predictably. There are techniques and practices for this. One of which is keeping a dream journal. I noticed that in a lot of my dreams I would see multiple moons in the night sky. My goal was to realize it’s a dream and start to control the dream so it become a training session. I wanted to get in more training than my opponents and I knew they were all training all day but not all night. I would notice the dream, look down and see my gi, look over and see my partner, and then start training. Unfortunately for me, every time I got control of the dream I would look and see my gi in my hand, drop the gi on the floor, and then take flight. My inner child controlled the dream most often and he just wanted to fly around. Rarely did I ever get any extra training in but it was still a fun experiment. Have you tried any strange or unique ways to get an edge in training?

Very interesting. What are some good techniques to be able to lucid dream. I’ve had success to throughout my life but have never tried techniques. Privates with you are key to getting an edge on my opponents!
Healing Peptides ❤️‍🩹
Ive been blown away by the healing potential of peptides. I want you to heal to so here is some info to consider. These are not fda approved so most doctors will not recommend them. Peptides are small proteins that are encoded in our DNA. They help the body function properly. Peptides are strings of amino acids in a specific sequence, like letters of a word. There are many peptides out there and some are still quite unproven so use caution. The healing ones I have been using have the longest history of safety and efficacy and I feel confident recommending them. I do not recommend any others. I’ve been using the Wolverine stack which is BPC157 mixed with TB500. This healing peptide mix has miraculously helped me heal decades old spinal injuries as well as new bumps and breaks like a recent rib injury. I take it via subcutaneous self injection via insulin syringe. Tiny needle doesn’t hurt. BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a 15-amino-acid peptide (Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val) first identified by Dr. Predrag Sikiric in 1991 from gastric tissue extracts. More than 180 peer-reviewed studies have explored its interactions with fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and inflammatory mediators. In laboratory models, BPC-157 has been investigated for cell-protective and anti-inflammatory actions that appear to influence several signaling systems: Activation of VEGFR2 → Akt → eNOS pathways associated with endothelial repair and microvascular stability. Modulation of growth hormone receptor (GHR) → JAK2 signaling in fibroblast cultures, studied in connection with collagen formation and wound-model tissue remodeling. Regulation of nitric-oxide (NO) balance and up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), often cited as part of its anti-oxidative and cytoprotective profile. In preclinical injury and inflammation models, BPC-157 has been observed to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and support tissue regeneration processes via enhanced fibroblast migration and angiogenesis.

@James Driskill that’s my plan
Focus for the week (breath)
This week try to start breathing audibly before you get tired. Make this your focus. If you get submitted because you’re focused on breathing, it’s ok. Let your attention be 75% on your breath and 25% on your partner. You will not do as well but you are practicing something that will pay off later. tchew tchew tchew tchew. Have a great week of training 👊

I’ve been working on this and the more I do it, the more it becomes natural and second nature. I still forget often but will really try this week to be consistent.
