Heath Pedigo’s The Daisy Fresh Curriculum: White Belt Stripe 2 is the second installment of his curriculum for white belts. This edition focuses on standing attacks and guard passing, then extends into knee on belly, mount, and back control. Its four-part organization connects takedown work with the passing and positional situations that follow.
Standing attacks: collar drag and snatch single
The opening part introduces two takedown options: the collar drag and the snatch single leg. The snatch single instruction separates the entry from the running-the-pipe and knee-tap material, giving these elements their own place in the course rather than treating the takedown as a single topic.
This standing section establishes one of the edition’s central priorities: developing go-to options from the feet. The curriculum then shifts toward working past the guard after reaching the ground.
Guard passing and recorded troubleshooting
The middle two parts cover a range of passing situations, alongside side-control material. Named lessons include:
- Windshield wiper pass
- Just stand up
- Crotch killer pass
- Spread the legs
- Stapling the arm from side control
- The squeeze
- Pin the shin half guard pass
A dedicated troubleshooting lesson appears in the second part. The course also features Pedigo working through problems with two white belt students as they practice the techniques. These recorded exchanges show him addressing roadblocks against defensive opponents, adding a student-learning perspective to the technical instruction.
The passing material emphasizes restricting an opponent’s movement while working to secure the pass. Its coverage includes both guard-passing lessons and control work, rather than stopping at the initial takedown.
From passing to knee on belly, mount, and the back
The final part turns to positional control. It includes knee on belly, scoring mount, hide-the-foot mount, and a back-take lesson. These topics extend the course’s progression from standing exchanges through passing into subsequent controlling positions.
For white belts assessing this edition, the distinguishing combination is its standing-to-passing focus and its recorded student troubleshooting. The Stripe 2 designation identifies this specific installment; the other stripe editions are separate courses.
