October 2024 Curriculum

We are going to experiment by offering only one topic per week this month, because I have found that two topics can be just a little too much! To get decent skill development and retention, we need lots of repetitions and more time drilling with light resistance.

You may also notice that we’re going to start circling back to review positional escapes from mount, side control, turtle, and the back, while adding in a few less common positions like kesa gatame and north/south. For the young kids, I’ve discovered that we need to practice the immobilizations before we can practice the escapes!
