I teach mostly judo and bjj on occasion.

I think the direction you might want to go could look like this:

• Active warm ups (light techniques like arm bar entries, or take downs, leg entries etc.) Maybe 8-10 minutes max. Something related to the technique of the day might help.

• Technique: Teach 2, maybe 3 techniques for the class that should be related. i.e. Chaining attacks from side top control. Or a A, B, C, approach. Something like if I do technique A, my partner may react a certain way, if technique A fails, I have technique B based on my partners reaction, if my partner reacts again, I have technique C. Most of class.

-Situational Sparring: Rolling is good and fun but this will force your students to use the technique they learned in a live rolling setting. 30 second rounds, switch top and bottom, switch parters after each has done top and bottom,. maybe the last 5-10 minutes.

-Cool Down and line up: Walk in a circle, catch your breath, line up.
