wrestle your friends....show them a couple moves if they don't know many and go at it.....wreslting in the snow is fun as hell too cuz it cushions your fall....

if you really have no things to do for your game and your locked out of your gym....work on your flexibility and balence....flexibility is an unsung atribute that really helps your game...

balence is everything....stand on one leg and hop around....try crawling on the backs of furniture....or doing crazy shit, just walking on skinny things like stair railings...

work your flexibilty if you have nothing else to do....and remember DON"T BOUNCE UP AND DOWN DURING YOUR STRECHES.

peace and goodtimes....

You'll probably survive a week of reduced training. Do some extra lifting and cardio and stop being so dramatic.

Balance is important too...

Thats no too dramatic I don't think, I mean, I sure don't like not being able to grapple. However, I only get up to the BJJ place once a week, cuz its far away and costs 20 bucks each time. However, I read aobut martial arts, I jump rope, I am involved in other martial arts, and I go to wrestling practices at 2 local high schools as well as college. I feel that grappling has improved my wrestling and vise-versa, I am much better at takedowns and clinching because of wrestling, plus it gets you in great shape!

Do some of that other stuff as well if you are bored, balance/flexability really is important, and its easy to work on. Read websites/books on martial arts as wll if you feel depraved.

Maybe it'll help if you think of it as a 'forced rest'. Everybody's body needs some rest occiasionally whether they feel it or not.

maybe it'll help...thanks
