https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...5UkEzTVE#gid=0 ok guys so this is me taking a crack at putting together a 16 week curriculum, i know its missing some things, please let me know what. this is just a rough copy and it will be refined to pure awesomeness but i need your guys help.
anybody?
What class is this for, what prior experience will your students have, what is the duration of each class and what does the A or B mean in column B? :)
I'll look at it when I get off work. See if I can help at all. :)
thanks kyle, this is gonna be for a college club, so experience varies, class length anywhere from an hour to two hours depending on the time alotted to me, id like an hour for instruction and a half for rolling, if possible. Say theres two classes a week A would be class one and B would be class two
You got some awesome techniques on here. If thats only 2 classes it seems like a lot of technique for one class. Or do you plan on picking and choosing certain techniques for class A and certain technique for class B? The best classes I've been in are the ones with only 3 or 4 techniques that flow together and lots and lots of reps.
i try to keep it 3-4 techniques per class, ill go over all techniques that say A in the first class and All that say B in the Second. this is still in its baby stages and will be revised many times before i need to put it to work, i got two months before i start college
so please feel free to let me know what to change keep.
You got something good going for sure! Personally I would add some long distance half guard options too.

Lockdown half is good but its not everybody's jam. I use Long Distance half more than LD half but I can move between the two. But thats if you're comfortable teaching that style.
i dont play long distance half to much but all add what i know in, im thinking im gonna either make it longer than a 16 week cycle, so i can add monkey mount and top half guard, what do you think?
Ahh didnt think about the fact that there's a time frame. Def don't want to jam too much in then. Top half would be good. You got some good options from mount already but if theres enough time I'd say def rock some Monkey Mount.
theres not, after the initial sixteen weeks it was going to cycle back to the beginning, so question is do i finish this and make a second cycle for when i finish or just make a longer initial plan, either way it would cycle back to the beginning, what do you think.
Oh ok. Thats a great idea to have a cycle like that. Yeah get it in there!
yea for the cycle 2 guard would turn to open guard, rubber guard would get more advanced and so one.
edited, instructors and moon heads id like your insight
Looks ok overall, the main thing is to make sure you are teaching what you know, if you try teaching stuff you aren't comfortable doing, you will have a bad time.
Depending on the level of the students in your class you might want to consider backing off the more advanced rubber guard stuff and/or spreading it out. For beginners I think a different theme each week is best so they can get a bit of everything fairly quickly, for more advanced students you can stick to a theme for a month and cover it in more detail.
The number of techniques you have per lesson is about right, but maybe think a bit more about grouping moves together that have synergy (eg. Hip bump sweep, Kimura & guillotine).
If this class is targeting beginners since it will a college curriculum and you will have a lot beginners, than I would suggest devoting for your first class on proper break falling, shrimping, rolling/tumbling, hip outs and basic drills so people get a strong base for safety. People want to learn all the sexy stuff and start throwing flying triangles, but at the beginner stages I would focus on Eddie's warm up series and traditional bjj techniques, slowly working them towards 10pjj little by little. My biggest thing when I taught kids Judo was safety and drills. Yeah drills are gay while you do them but they really do make the difference when performing in competition. Email me if you got anymore questions. I would also change regular push ups to Hindu Push-ups since it's a more functional exercise and promotes flexibility especially in the core area, which will help them loosen up for later on. :)
im taking all this in guys, thanks
Also, I've never done a 'warm down' in my life, I kind of feel like no one is going to want to hang around and do push ups AFTER rolling. We just stretch at the end and talk shit :)
ill consider that, its just something im used to
