What Sunday looks like.

Less teaching, more testing.

1

Game planning

Build a competition game from positions you already have and drill the transitions between them.

2

Hard rounds

Match-length rounds with scoring, resets and a clock.

3

Corner work

Coaches who have cornered at the amateur and professional level, including in the UFC, walk you through match strategy.

Every class, same arc.

First

A controlled takedown

Every class starts on the feet. Setups, entries and finishes, taught to be safe for the person being thrown.

Then

One concept on the mat

The month's position, taught as a concept with specific examples. You drill it with a partner at your own pace.

Finally

Structured live training

Rounds with rules that fit where you are. Watch from the wall on night one if you want. You'll want in by night three.

Once a week.
