I taught Peter how to do bent-over rows, since he's always picking up the weights and "working out". His exercises generally involve swinging the weights in a very dangerous manner. This is better.
John was mostly content with his DSi.

Finally, it was open mat! I used to bail if there wasn't a girl available for a training partner. Now, I just want to roll and I don't really care who it is. Today at open mat, it was me, my husband and a 14 year old guy (who happens to be about 50 lbs heavier than me). I felt like I moved well and didn't make too many mistakes that I already know I shouldn't. I'm guessing I'll still be making mistakes that I don't even know about for the rest of my jiu-jitsu career, so I'm just focusing on the ones I know. I was hoping to find out if I had an accurate assessment by getting Peter to tape my sparring sessions. I got some great close-ups of his fingers and the occasional image of me.
Notice John on the right of the screen, swinging on the rings at about a minute into the video. Joe was taking it easy on me - it's more fun that way for me, and he gets to play around and see what happens when he does things like roll for no good reason.
This is some of the worst cinematography ever, but it's so bad it's funny. Note how much of the screen is empty mat, the camera man's big brother, and the camera man's fingers. Note the bizarre commentary following the heavy breathing. Note the loss of sound halfway through.
