The Ultimate BJJ Training Checklist for Beginners-Feedback!

I've created The Ultimate BJJ Training Checklist for Beginners based on my assumptions. So I need your feedback to create the next product—advanced BJJ training protocols, the competition cycles, or the nutrition deep dives—based on YOUR need, not my assumptions.
