Establish a neutral sequence
Connect stance and motion to a wrist tie, level change, and single-leg entry. Practice stopping in a stable captured-leg position before increasing finishing resistance.
Build a bottom escape
Link base positioning, hand control, and the stand-up. Make facing the opponent part of every repetition so the athlete does not stop after merely reaching the feet.
Connect a top breakdown
Use riding pressure to set up a chop or spiral breakdown. Follow to a balanced ride before adding a half nelson under coach supervision.
Test the sequence
Use short situational rounds from the exact positions practiced. Give the partner one clear defensive response and ask the athlete to maintain mechanics while adapting.
Put it into practice
Your next session
Choose one sequence per practice. Use cooperative repetitions, then light resistance, then a short situational round. Keep the same cue across all three phases.
What to look for
Progress when the athlete can demonstrate a complete action from each position and explain the next step if the first movement stalls. This is a WOTM development guide, not an external certification.
