BJJ Class Blueprint — Professor Manny Galvan

Sound familiar?

Great on the mat. No time to plan.

Most instructors don't struggle with jiu-jitsu. They struggle with what to teach on Tuesday — and how it connects to Thursday, to the next belt test, and to the rest of the year.

Planning eats your evenings. Hours on YouTube rebuilding a class you've taught a hundred times.
Classes drift. Students learn random techniques instead of a path they can see.
Belt tests feel subjective. No checklist, no scoring, no consistency between coaches.
New coaches teach it differently. There's nothing written down to hand them.

Why this one

Not a binder of random drills

A video of every technique

Every technique page has a QR code to a video of it being taught. Watch it before class, teach it from the page.

The instructor's own words

The coaching cues come straight from how the techniques are taught on the mat — not rewritten by someone who doesn't train.

Belt tests included

13 adult module tests and 4 kids belt sheets with a simple scoring system, so every coach tests the same way.

Built for real classes

Each lesson fits a 60-minute class with partner drills and live rounds. A 30-minute private lesson version is included.

A path students can see

Students always know what they're working on and what's on their next test — a big reason they stay.

Kids-aware

Lessons that aren't for kids are clearly marked, and the kids belt path (Grey, Yellow, Orange, Green) is included.

Questions

Frequently asked

How do I get it?

Right after checkout you'll get an email with the download link for all five PDF volumes.

Who is it for?

BJJ instructors and academy owners teaching fundamentals and beginner classes — white belts on the way to blue belt — and coaches who teach kids.

Are the videos included?

Yes. Every technique page has a QR code (and a short link) to a video of that technique being taught. Scan it with your phone camera.

Gi or no-gi?

Mostly gi, because the curriculum includes collar chokes and gi grips. Many techniques work in both, and the first choke module is entirely no-gi chokes.

Can I print it?

Yes — every page is letter size and made to print. Many instructors print the lesson for the day and the belt test sheets.

Can I edit the lesson plans?

The volumes are PDFs, so the text isn't editable — but they're built to follow as-is, and you can swap the warm-ups and live rounds for your own.
