  CYCLE 1 (Weeks 1–12) — Guard Attacks + Core Gi Chokes
  Week 9 — Back Control + Bow and Arrow

  • Techniques

    • Back Control / Control → Seatbelt + hook maintenance   

    • Back Control / Submissions → Bow and arrow choke   

  Key cues: stay on the strong side; pull them to the choking side; hips behind hips.   

  Common mistakes: falling to the wrong side; losing hooks; choking with arms only.

  Positional sparring start: start with seatbelt + one hook in.

  To Win: choke or bottom escapes to guard/neutral.

  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.

  Week 9 — Open Guard + Toreando

  • Techniques

    • Guard / Open Guard / Control → Feet on hips control
