Basing a curriculum off of MTS vids?

[Jonrivello]

Alright that's basically it. I'm trying to start a curriculum using mts and would like some help. A train in my churches jiu jitsu club taught by blue belts and theyre great but we basically just roll the whole time with no techniques being really taught. So any examples a typical 10th planet class, technique blocks that should be taught first like guard passing or guard work, etc.. Just to bring beginners to a higher level would be appreciated.We actually compete Alot and do pretty well but I think we can take it to the next level

Do you work basic escapes/sweeps and passes? Most places will have you doing ebis and umpas every class. It makes sense to me to work MTRG from two starting points. Half guard with the lock down and full guard. Make sure if your just practicing you don't crush each other calf's with the lockdown, you might not realize how easy it is. It helps me and a lot of people to think of the system as a series of positions, sweeps and submissions that are interconnected. In reality it doesn't really happen that way often but it's still a good way to learn. Here's a flow chart I made based out of half guard. It is not up to date with the system and any experienced person will realize its only a guide to get started before everything starts really coming together. Please keep in mind this is a work in progress. Feel free to use it for any purpose other than profit as per Eddies request of other members who posted charts here in the past.

I cant believe how many people live with in a couple hours of a Moon and just don't make the drive. I'm jealous. Buy the way, even if the chart were up to date and as good as possible be, I think its really making the flow chart that helps you get the system in your head. Maybe try making your own if you have time. Glad if I could be of any help.

I live with in 6 hours of the closest moon but I got ryans hotbox and gabby Bella to help me with the system. Making a flow chart makes sense, how can I make one like yours

[Aaron Gustaveson]

Oh, six hours? Yeah, I'm 4.5 hours, between Eugene and Sanfran. I used a program called RFFlow,

I think I messed with a couple of the template type ones and then decided just to wing it. I'll email you the actual file if you want.
