Portland does one series for a month. This month is C.
Darlington has been working one each session like Eddie does at HQ, first time through I just used the whole lesson and taught each one. Going through again I just show it quickly then do timed rounds for each one. Get the time down. I'm really liking the warm up series. Feel like the whole system is constantly evolving and that's what I'm up for.......
We're doing one per week
In winnipeg we are doing a different one every class.
For those that dont know them Ill teach one on a slow day and then assign reps to it so people are practicing them on open mat days.
So far most of my students know all of A, B, C, E
So then in the first 15 min those who know them drill them and everyone else gets shown 1 part by me and then drills that for the 15 min straight.
I really like them, Im seeing lots of Marcelotines and straight ankle locks now. And some people are incorporating more double under passes into there game.
I love them, I have a contest going where the first student to master them all gets a free 10th planet Winnipeg shirt
I thought of doing one a month or one a week but then youll only ever see them once every 8 weeks or once a year, I didnt think that would be enough to get people to remember them. When i tried just saying this is the warm up we are doing go to the website and learn it, very few people did
We are working on the hail marys this week.
This first time through we are spending two weeks per warm-up. We are on D for one more class. The plan is to go to one week each next time thru, unless we can't do them in 15 minutes, then that series will continue to get two weeks until we can run them in 15 minutes.
we do them all in week intervals.
Thats a great idea I am gonna steal it. The reason I feel that 1 month or at least 2 week stretches are good is because it give them the reps they need to really learn the moves. Once they have all mastered the moves, (like Eddies class), we can switch to more frequent changes. Also as you said all my guys have a Marcelotine and an ankle lock now. We had an in house tourny few weeks back and every single one of the hail mary's was used to win a match by one of our guys.
We haven't been formally doing them at St. Paul yet, but we've been doing many of the movements they require for a long time now (e.g., inverted guard rolls, Granby's, etc.). I would like to see us doing them as formal part of each class, but until then I'm working on them on my own as much as I can.
Granbys since most of our guys are newbs
Im thinking/hoping that there is a tipping point and that when say half the students know all 8 warm ups that it will be really easy to teach them to new people because itll be a game of correctly assigning partners and fixing bad habits.
Thats why Im holding a contest and doing assigned drilling (before sparing/on open mat days/30 min before class)
First i tried just showing them and no one would remember them class to class, so at the start of each class i started making people show what we did last class or face punishment (burpees/situps). That worked for some people but it was always the same students demonstrating the moves.
I wanna gain lots of momentum to hit that tipping point, then everything will flow smooth.
