Run this introductory game
Draft coaching guidance. A qualified instructor must check the setup, constraints and suitability before use.
- Roles and rounds
- Use the Player A / Player B roles in the exact starting position below. Use 90 seconds per turn, then switch roles.
- Stop and reset
- Stop immediately on a tap, pain, unsafe pressure or coach call. Release grips and return to the listed start after a win or a stall. No submissions in this introductory variation.
- Make it easier
- Let the defending player establish a comfortable frame before starting. Lower resistance until both players can keep the position safe.
- Make it harder
- Remove the free starting frame and increase resistance gradually. Keep the same goal and safety limits.
- Observe
- Watch whether the intended position is regained or lost, and ask both players what changed.
- Next session
- Repeat with one adjusted rule. Record what you noticed, not an assumed improvement. Return to the problem guide.
Agree the roles, goal and reset before starting. Ask your coach to demonstrate any unfamiliar setup. This introductory variation is draft guidance requiring instructor review.
