Reshoot Chain Playbook

Mat Manual companion guide to "The Second Shot Is the Takedown." Print it. The article explains the chain: a double leg stuffed by a sprawl, a peek-out or sit-out that relocates you, a reshoot timed to their recovery, and a finish into the ride — plus the honest limit, that against a disciplined recovery the clean disengage is the right end. This book drills each link at the stated speeds, trains the disengage as a scored skill with the same weight as a finish, and gives the sprawler their own recovery chain to run against you, because a reshoot chain trained against a sprawler who never recovers is a timing story nobody has verified.

BEFORE ANYTHING: PARTNER SAFETY AND AGREEMENTS ☐ Sprawl weight in this book is settled onto the upper back, never dropped, and never driven through the head, neck, or spine. A shooter trapped under a chest reports it with one word and the sprawl releases at once. ☐ Reshoots are shot at the card's stated speed. A reshoot at full match speed in a timing card (Part 8) is a different drill; the set restarts at the card's speed. ☐ Finishes from the reshoot land a partner guided, on hip and shoulder, never dumped from height and never onto a straight posted arm. A landing that loads a posted arm stops the set. ☐ The peek-out moves the head out from under a chest; it is never a headbutt, a neck crank against the sprawler's arm, or a drive of the crown into a partner's ribs. Contact faults stop the set. ☐ The sprawler's counter work in week 4 includes the sprawl-to-cradle from the paired playbook. Its rules travel with it: cradles locked by weight, never squeezed, rolls low and never toward the neck. ☐ Stop on any pain, numbness, dizziness, or loss of control, from either partner, with no argument and no finishing the rep. Log it in the session log (Part 16).

Part 1: The Chain at a Glance

Chain law: relocation is not escape. Print that sentence at the top of your session log for the whole first cycle; half the faults in Part 14's scoring trace back to a peek-out that quietly became a run for the exit, and students catch it in themselves fastest when the sentence is sitting over their own numbers. A peek-out that ends with your hands off and your back turned was a retreat, and the log marks it (R), not as a link.
