Mind Maps for BJJ Instructionals

Good charts. Jordon Schultz has a gameplan chart thing similiar to this. He maps out what he wants to do, then decides which is one of the most common moves in all his sequences, he then drills that move.
 
Interesting stuff man, I'm definitely going to have to make up one of my own.

Thanks guys, if you have any requests let me know. Not sure what I'm going to do next. Maybe some of Ryan Hall's stuff or Saulo's
 
Different people learn different ways, but I think this is very crucial.
 
i suppose that can help some people learn. to me it takes bjj and makes it look like school (boring)
 
I attempted to make one of these last year for my entire game....turns out it gets REALLY messy even with flow-chart software.

It gets even crazier when you try to add transitions and combinations into it. You get arrows going everywhere and it just gets out of control. I think it is best to keep it simple like you did and not worry about combinations, transitions, grips, or anything like that. Just list the sweeps, subs, escapes or guard passes.

It turns out to be more of a "database" than a flow-chart, but it still works.

I tried to just takes notes of the Roy Dean video, and they got so long I gave up.

Yeah that is how JaySulls chart works. Should just be simple notes from each position w/ 3-5 options. Now the drilling comes in and you should know the chains, combos etc. The main thing is to get the initial position down, and drill the different combinations.

I don't mean to rip on you but I really don't see how something being boring is a bad thing. School is work. If you enjoy the work it won't be boring. It's all about postive thinking. If you want something to be enjoyable, make it enjoyable.

Onto the roadmaps, they are fantastic and I will blow them up and put them on my wall as well. I might add that Jason Scully made a fantastic no-gi guard roadmap that is somewhere on the internet.
 
glad everyone likes them and is finding some use for them...more to come
 
I have one for guard passing it's made in Visio - different format, more of a flow/process diagram.

This stuff really helps me.
 
Cool stuff! I know Codemonkey also did this for Robson Moura's Gi DVD's for 2 of the positions. I was inspired and did the Robson Cross Guard mind map (although I didn't know it was called a mind map until now) and I used excel instead of what you used.

If anyone wants it I can post it up if i can find it.
