INSIDE THE FRAMEWORK
Three Parts. One Master Plan.
Each part answers a different question. Together, they help you understand the position and act with purpose.
Work through them in order — how you think, where you are, what you do next.

IN PRACTICE
How the learning system works
The three parts are not separate subjects. On the mats they run in sequence, every time.
- 1
First, see the position.
Identify the positional perspective and each person’s immediate goals.
- 2
Then, control the variables.
Use the mechanics of posture, connection, hand control, and turn control to limit your opponent’s options.
- 3
Finally, follow the path.
Take the next useful action, observe the reaction you create, and continue toward control, transition, or a finish.
