- Followed by instruction on 1-2 stand-up/take-down techniques, with students drilling each move multiple times
- The instructor then demonstrates 2-3 techniques on the ground (positioning, transitions, submissions), again students drill each technique with a partner several times to put the moves into their muscle memory
- Class usually ends with “live training” to reinforce the techniques taught. (Advanced Program only)
