What Happens During Class?
Students do not spend class watching long demonstrations or repeating movements without resistance.
Each class progresses through:
- Movement connected to the day’s problem
- Chest-to-chest control and escapes
- Chest-to-back control and escapes
- A neutral guard game
- Coach-controlled resistance rounds
- A brief review
Sandy changes the partners, starting positions, scoring rules, and resistance level so beginners and experienced students can learn safely.
