The ProDojo Sparring Development Curriculum

The ProDojo Sparring Development Curriculum is a practical 36-page ebook for martial arts instructors and school owners who want sparring to be safer, smarter, more enjoyable and easier to coach.

Instead of throwing students into random rounds and hoping for the best, this guide gives you a clear 12-week sparring development system built around games, constraints and structured progression.

It focuses on the skills students actually need for better sparring:

• Distance awareness and control
• Entry timing
• Feints and first attack
• Score and exit habits
• Defence and countering
• Flow and combination work
• Pressure and adaptability
• Confidence and control

Inside, you’ll get a full 12-week spiral curriculum, practical sparring games, coaching cues, progressions, regressions, mixed-level teaching ideas and sample lesson plans you can use straight away.

This is not a random drill book.

It’s a coaching tool designed to help you build sparring classes where students are sweating, smiling, learning and improving – without the usual chaos, fear or “just fight harder” nonsense.

Perfect for instructors who teach point sparring, light continuous kickboxing, freestyle martial arts, kids classes, adults classes, mixed levels, or anyone trying to make sparring more useful on the mats.
