Heath Pedigo’s The Daisy Fresh Curriculum: White Belt Stripe 3 focuses on working from top position, with instruction in outside passing, inside passing, and submissions from the top. Pedigo, head coach of Pedigo Submission Fighting, connects guard passing with securing knee on belly, mount, and back control. This edition is aimed at white belts developing their top game.
Daisy Fresh Curriculum: White Belt Stripe 3—Passing Focus
The passing material is divided into outside and inside approaches. This gives the course two distinct routes through the guard rather than concentrating on a single pass. Alongside the individual techniques, Pedigo covers strategies for dealing with defensive guards and limiting an opponent’s movement while working toward the pass.
Outside Passing
Part 1 begins with an introduction and the outside passing section. Its named lessons include De La Riva Kickoff, Pop Push Grab, U Grip, and Red Zone Green Zone. A separate Red Zone Green Zone Passing Drills lesson accompanies that material, followed by Side to Side Pass and Shield Punch Pass.
Inside Passing
Part 2 shifts to inside passing, with lessons on the Double Under Pass and Stack Pass. This shorter section provides a clear contrast to the outside passing material and completes the course’s two-part approach to passing before the instruction moves to top-position submissions.
Submissions and Control After the Pass
The second half of the curriculum turns from getting past the guard to attacking from top position. Part 3 introduces the Americana, North South Choke, Kimura Pressure Break, and Step Over Triangle. Part 4 continues with the following named lessons:
- 2 Handed Brabo
- Cross Collar Punch Choke
- Americana to Armbar from Mount
- Diamond Push Up Armbar
- Triangle from Armbar Grip Break
- Head and Arm Choke (Dismount)
- The Better Head and Arm Choke
The course also includes tips on securing knee on belly, mount, and back control from guard passing situations. These positional details connect the passing focus to the later submission material, rather than treating the pass as the endpoint.
Recorded White Belt Troubleshooting
Pedigo works through problems with two of his white belt students as they practice the techniques. These recorded exchanges address common roadblocks against defensive opponents, adding examples of correction to the technique demonstrations. For white belts assessing this edition, that student troubleshooting is a distinct feature alongside the organized passing and submission lessons.
