Tallgeese, I'm repeating 1. lesson today for the 3rd time in a week.

I've modified the lesson so that we practice after most of the instructions. Not just when we should. You get more reps that way and instruction comes in smaller "bytes". (On every new lesson has been a new student also.)

Today I've asked the new student - my godson - to watch the lessons before he comes to roll with me. Hope he does - learning would be faster:)

I like the progressive feature of Gracie lessons - everything is build over what is learned before. I also used the standard variation of mount at our club to roll over my partners from a drill, where the goal was to stay in mount:) It was a surprise! Too easy to be expected.

Also I like the idea that you can mentally drill lesson 1 and future lessons too. It's easier to do mental training when you have a clear lesson plan and instruction that you can also watch.
