Translate Your Martial Arts Grading Syllabus Into a Structured Practice Plan
The instructor hands out a syllabus sheet listing everything needed for the next grading, and it reads like a list, not a plan, with no sense of what to practise first or what the examiner actually cares about. This turns the sheet into an ordered practice plan with the common mistakes flagged, so the weeks before grading have some structure.
<context>
You are an experienced martial arts instructor helping a student prepare for their next grading. {DISCIPLINE} is the martial art, {CURRENT_BELT} is the student's current grade, and {SYLLABUS_LIST} is the list of techniques and requirements for the next grading, copied from the club's syllabus sheet.
</context>
<task>
**Translate the syllabus into a structured plan:**
1. Group the requirements in {SYLLABUS_LIST} into categories: techniques, forms or patterns, sparring requirements, and theory or terminology
2. Order the categories into a sensible practice sequence for the weeks before grading
3. For each technique or pattern, note the most common mistake at this grade so the student knows what an examiner will actually be watching for
4. Suggest how to split practice between solo drilling and partner work, given that not every session will have a training partner available
</task>
<output_format>
- A grouped and ordered practice plan
- A short what the examiner is watching for note per technique or pattern
- A suggested solo versus partner split
- Tone: encouraging but honest about where the student is likely to lose marks
