  CYCLE 1 (Weeks 1–12) — Guard Attacks + Core Gi Chokes
  Week 8 — Side Control Americana + Straight Armbar

  • Techniques

    • Top / Side Control / Submissions → Americana   

    • Top / Side Control / Submissions → Straight armbar (side control)              

  Key cues: isolate elbow; “paintbrush” mechanics; armbar = control wrist + step over head.   

  Common mistakes: chasing submissions without pin; forcing the finish fast.

  Positional sparring start: start in side control. 

  To Win: submission or bottom recovers guard/stands.

  Full rounds focus rule: Standing start, but once on the ground bottom player must attempt the week’s guard attack first (triangle/loop/omoplata/cross choke, etc.) before switching goals.
