Weeks 1–3 · Diagnosis
Four rounds of footage, sorted by where things break down.
The programs, in detail
Four programs of 8 to 16 weeks, all built on footage from your own training.
Program 01 · Fix the leaks
Fundamentals & drilling
Most people plateau because they keep adding techniques while the same two positions keep ending their rounds. We find those from your footage, build a drilling plan you can run in the ten minutes before class, and check progress on film every week.
Weeks 4–7 · Two positions
Focused drilling on the leaks, nothing else added.
Weeks 8–10 · Under resistance
Positional sparring from the bad spots, on purpose.
Weeks 11–12 · Retest
New footage compared against week one.
Weeks 1–2 · How to film
Angles, lighting and getting usable footage in a busy gym.
Weeks 3–5 · The patterns
What repeats across rounds, named and counted.
Weeks 6–7 · One change
A single focus per round until it sticks.
Weeks 8 · Your own review
You analyze a round; we check your analysis.
Program 02 · See what you actually do
Film study
Almost nobody reviews their own footage, and those who try mostly watch the highlights. We work backwards from the moment it went wrong to the decision three seconds earlier, then give you one thing to change in your next round.
Program 03 · A plan for the bracket
Competition prep
Competition rewards a narrow, well-drilled game rather than a broad one. We pick your A-game, build the sequences that support it, and structure the eight weeks before the event — including a taper. On weight, we work only with sensible approaches and refer you to a registered dietitian for anything involving significant cuts.
Weeks 1–2 · The A-game
Three positions you'll try to reach every match.
Weeks 3–5 · Sequences
Chains from those positions, drilled to reflex.
Weeks 6–7 · Simulation
Match-length rounds with a clock and a referee call.
Weeks 8 · Taper and day plan
Volume down, warm-up scripted, timing on the day.
Weeks 1–3 · The week
Mapping your real training load, including work and sleep.
Weeks 4–6 · Hard and easy
Making hard days count and easy days genuinely easy.
Weeks 7–8 · Strength
Twenty minutes twice a week that supports the mat work.
Weeks 9–10 · Rules
When to tap early, sit out, or go home.
Program 04 · Still training at 50
Training longevity
Most people who quit martial arts don't lose interest — they get hurt, or exhausted. We plan your week so hard rounds are actually hard and easy days exist, add a short strength routine, and set rules for when to sit a round out. This is coaching, not medical care: injuries go to a physician or physical therapist.
