Goal-oriented training
Each rolling session should have a focus or technique. You might say, "Today I'm going to pass the butterfly guard." It is possible to tell your training partners and get into those positions.
Consistent training
BJJ should be a priority in your daily life. You should train 3-5 times per week. It is no accident that the best students in class are also the most faithful. You should set a schedule and not let anything that isn’t very important interrupt it. While some students are able to improve quickly, the best students put in many hours of work to achieve their goals. If you miss classes or have not trained for weeks, your game will not improve as quickly as it should.
Make use of your training partners
Keep track of the guards, pass, pins and escapes that are most effective. Work with them and let them use their strengths. This will help you identify your mistakes and track your progress. You will be able to overcome your weaknesses and you will know that you are making progress. If you are aware that someone has a good bottom game, don't pull guard against them. You want to be the best. If you're not sparring, study the games of your teammates and learn their best moves. As they spar, go over the moves in your head. Consider when you might be able use this move and how you would respond to it. Ask them to make small adjustments so the technique works better.
Ask your instructor questions
Many times, black and brown belts will ask students questions and then everyone is silent. Keep a question in your mind. Unless you're an absolute genius, there will always be situations where you don’t feel 100% confident.
Explore new ideas
Try a new move or set up on beginners. This is a good idea because if you're still not sure about certain aspects of the move, you won't be able to pull it off on the more experienced guys. This makes it more difficult to work with others who are less skilled than you. You can work on one area until it becomes a strength, then you can move onto the next. Keep your guard up, so that it becomes almost impossible for anyone else at your level to pass and very difficult for someone more advanced to get by. Then add your sweeps. When you can sweep blues and have higher belts, then move on to subs.
Individual attention
Private lessons with your instructor are a great way to improve your skills. You can roll with them, or they can watch you roll with someone else who is more skilled. Then have them point out any areas that need improvement or obvious mistakes.
Teach new guys
You know you are able to get a beginner to perform a move correctly if they can do it. It is a good idea to be aware of every detail that makes a technique successful.
Roll until you're exhausted during every training session
Many men pack up their bags and leave the gym without even working up a sweat. Train until your instructors tell you to go home. Cardio is a technique. Although you may have a lot of knowledge, you will not be able to express it well if your lungs are strained. If your lungs are able to handle the constant explosiveness and movement, you can really open up your game.
Train in lower positions
Your training partners can help you get your back, pass through your guard, or mount yourself. You should not let them know you are allowing them the position. Keep in the inferior position, and focus on avoiding submissions. Then work on your escapes. This will allow you to feel at ease in all situations.
A good balance between the top and bottom
Tap someone from my guard and make it your goal that they pass. Pull guard the next time you tap someone from at the top. Always alternate top and bottom when rolling, so you don't forget any.
Look for someone to help you
Do not be afraid to spar with the hardest guys in class. You should always be willing to spar with the toughest guys in class. You are not expected to be a master grappler as a beginner or intermediate. Instead, use this time to improve your game and compare what you know to students who are more experienced.
Do not drill
You can spend about ten minutes prior to or after your roll to practice the techniques that you have learned over the last few days. You can also make one day per week your drilling day. Spend at least half an hour to 45 minutes repeating the same techniques over and over again. It is tedious, but many of the most skilled men dedicate a portion of each training session to practicing basic movements with a partner.
Specialize
You can find the right positions for you and practice sparring them until you are able to rely on them against anyone. To be able to compete against the tougher guys, you need to have a technique similar to this from each position. The first step is to set up the techniques. Once you have mastered these areas, it will continue to branch out to help you create your own game/style.
Share your tips
Anyone who asks can benefit from your knowledge. You will find more competition as they become better. You will find it more difficult to defeat yourself when you are competing against tough opponents.
Training sessions are a way to learn , not win
Consider the situation in which you would need it and what move you might be able to do it. Sparring should not be about winning the match, but more about learning the move.
Visualization
Training doesn't happen on the mat. Training is not just about the mat. It's also about your mind. If you find a technique that works well for you or if you have trouble with a particular move, it is time to practice. You can improve your technique by thinking about what you can do to make it better. Visualize your movements. Try to imagine how you will react to your opponent's moves.
Be Technical
It's not the right time to dominate your partner and go all out. This is an opportunity to improve and learn. First, focus on your technique and then work on your skills. This will make it much easier over the long-term. Instead of muscling around or wasting your speed, take a moment and think about the best technique to achieve your goal. You will save energy if you use more techniques.
Never Forget the Basics
Many people become obsessed with the latest techniques. Some are great and others are not. You must remember the basics. You will notice that the majority of matches won in major tournaments are won using only the basics. You will not be able to improve your skills or add new techniques.
Train Takedowns
Most fights begin on the feet, and all tournaments start on the feet. As you move up in the ranks, you'll notice that takedown skills improve with each passing day.
It is a huge confidence booster to be the one who decides where and when the fight will take place. You can give yourself an advantage if you take down your opponent. It's always nice to be able to stand in front of your opponent without fear of being taken down or resorting to pulling guard.
