APH-2025-163

Overview:

• 6-Week Focus: Ben Galper Basic Grip Program
  • As written: 4 sessions x 4 weeks, extend to 6 weeks to allow for grappling.
  • Limit sessions to 60-minutes (including warm up and support) to allow recovery.
• Weekly Objective: Adjust difficulty and develop follow-up training plan.

Assessment:

• Sleep Quantity (hours): 8
• Sleep Quality (1-5): 3
• Mood (1-5): 3
• Soreness (1-5): 1

Training:

• Teaching Class:
  • Warm Up: Balance games from HQ and SLX.
  • Drill: Review HQ passing.
  • Drill: Review SLX passing.
  • Drill: Rolling back take basics, from head-to-toe position, twister-side-control, and SLX
  • Scrimmage: “first to stand” from double seated, one leg in and one leg out.

Review:

• Difficulty (1-10): 5
• Performance (1-10): 7
• Mat Hours: 0.5
• What worked well:
  • Continuing to review last week’s material as a “warm up” is a good idea.
• What didn’t work well:
  • The last technique (rolling back take) was a little much for the novices, but allowing plenty of time for them to experiment got them to understand the general idea.
• Plan for next time:
  • Continue with reviews as warm up.
  • Consider reviewing other passing?
