How This Plan Works
Survival first, in this order: stay safe, escape, control, then attack. Check a box when the skill works in drilling and has shown up in live rolling at least once. Months are a typical pace, not a deadline. Your instructor's curriculum and your mat time set the real schedule. Each month below also names its technique set, the specific moves that month is built from, and a standard: a measurable test you can run on yourself to know the month actually landed.
