Coaching white belts: the curriculum I wish I'd had when I started teaching

After 5 years of teaching white belts, the curriculum I've landed on:

• Month 1: shrimping, framing, breakfalls. NO submissions yet.
• Month 2-3: closed guard maintenance, half guard sweep, mount escape.
• Month 4: triangle from guard, kimura, americana — first submissions.
• Month 5+: opening up the rest.

The mistake I made for years: teaching submissions in week one. Students get attached to attacks and never build the survival foundation.
