Review:

• Difficulty (1-10): 6
• Performance (1-10): 7
• Mat Hours: 1
• What worked well:
  • Partner feedback says my set-ups and transitions are smooth, thanks to mobility emphasis.
  • We did some good creativity training at a moderate pace but with mild resistance, which helped build confidence and stitch pieces together.
  • Hand and collar tie scrimmages feel strong.
• What didn’t work well:
  • With a left leg lead, I was slow with my right collar tie. This is my opposite stance, so I’m trying to do everything backwards.
• Plan for next time:
  • While I prefer a right leg lead, I still want my partner to collar tie on my left side to set up the right side shot. I just need to make sure that I tie up first and set the momentum.
