Bridge Training Plan

Mat Manual companion guide to "It Works in Nagekomi: Closing the Randori Gap." Print it. The article names the five gifts. This book removes them one at a time: a diagnosis worksheet, the resistance ladder as drill cards with doses and pass marks, uke's duties for every rung, a six-session plan, a per-throw transfer checklist, and a log that measures your randori conversion before and after the bridge, so the plan's success is a number and not a feeling.

BEFORE ANYTHING: THE AGREEMENTS ☐ The rungs are climbed in order. A player does not skip to countering nagekomi because it sounds like the real thing. Each rung exists because the one below it taught something the top rung assumes. ☐ Uke's resistance is the percentage the card names, no more out of pride and no less out of kindness. A rep stolen by either error is restarted and logged as stolen. ☐ Falls in bridge work are full falls and are checked by the thrower on every rep. Conditions get harder across this book; landing duty never does. ☐ Completion rates will fall as rungs rise. That fall is the measurement, agreed in advance, and nobody apologises for it or softens a rung because of it. ☐ One throw is bridged at a time per player. A shelf of half-bridged throws is the disease this book treats, presenting as diligence.

Part 1: The Five Gifts — The Diagnostic Table

How to use this book. Diagnose in Part 2. Enter the ladder at Part 3's overview, then work the cards in Parts 4 to 8 in order regardless of the diagnosis, because a gift you do not think you are living on is still worth one honest session of testing. The diagnosis decides emphasis, not exemption.
