Library access viewThe class nameThe library drafted this name from the class itself. Brandon has not approved it; he can approve it, replace it, or leave it.
Every class opens with check-in, bow-in and stretching and closes with a bow-out. The class backbone is the same every time. This is what this class does with the rest of the hour:
- Attention control amid noise and interruption · Center awareness and internal point of reference · 14:23–25:49 · 9 moments
- Dojo command vocabulary and cue language · Call-and-response teaching sequence · 30:30–43:35 · 10 moments
- Core technique vocabulary and attack–response chains · Seated and low-base variants (suwariwaza / seiza-like control) · 50:06–57:54 · 4 moments
- Attention control amid noise and interruption · 59:55–61:52 · 1 moment
The library grouped the moments into sections and named them. The boundaries and the names are proposals until Brandon approves them.
This class moves from early dynamic body prep into progressively structured partner drills, emphasizing breathing-led movement, center awareness, and call/response communication before introducing a sequence of technique names and their attack-response structure for yellow-belt-level recall. The session blends floor-based mobility, standing mechanics, timing control (Kihon vs continuous flow), and partner-responsibility drills (including throwing/defensive variations and low-posture transitions), then closes with a brief game segment and etiquette reset.
The library wrote this description from the transcript. Brandon has not written it and can rewrite it at any time.
Names are drafted from what happens inside each one (proposed, awaiting Sensei's approval).

The library proposed these concept labels from the transcript and tagged where they appear. They are proposals, not Brandon's terms.
