So you're improving at BJJ! However, not enough for your liking, eh...? No worries, we've got you covered! You will improve in Jiu Jitsu by heaps and bounds following these easy tips!
DRILLING IS NOT ENOUGH
Drilling a technique doesn't just mean going through the motions - you must participate actively! The following steps can be taken to accomplish this:
The technique's details should be emphasized as much as possible while you drill it, aiming to hit them better with every rep;
b) determining the number of repetitions to be hit in a drill for a given technique.
You will become more proficient at your techniques as a result of combining these two tips.
A PASSIVE TRAINING PARTNER IS NOT AN OPTION
While your training partner is drilling something, like a guard pass, don't think about chocolate cakes. Consider finding out what your training partner might be missing instead. If you think about it, perhaps you can do it better. When playing live, think about how you would counter that pass.
Actively engage in the task at hand and keep your attention on it!
BUILD A VISION
Visualization is credited with increasing the skill level of many professional athletes. If you can, visualize a technique, principle, or sequence of moves as vividly as possible, in as much detail as possible, outside BJJ classes.
This way, you will find it easier to hit the same techniques, principles, and sequences when rolling and drilling - since you have "seen" them so many times that you can act instantly when necessary!
WANT TO STAY FOR A LITTLE LONGER?
Stay for a few minutes after the training is over. Maybe you should drill a certain technique with your training partner so that you are sure you understand it. If you didn't understand something in class that day, or if you had trouble rolling, tell your professor about it.
Adding a few dollars to your savings account each day is the effect of staying a bit longer. There is a cumulative effect.
New techniques should be practiced on new students first.
Learning a new technique is best done by practicing it on new or least advanced students in your class. Once you hit that technique repeatedly on them, try on some more experienced white belts. Keep climbing the ranks until you refine your technique as much as possible. Next, try it out on blue belts, then purple belts.
DON'T GET YOURSELF IN BAD POSITIONS
Yes, intentionally put yourself in the wrong positions! You can practice escaping it more if someone mounts you and takes your back!
It is beneficial when training with partners with a lower skill level than you. You can practice your defense, and your partners can practice their submission skills simultaneously, for example, by giving them your back.
BRING POSITIVE SPARRING TO YOUR LIFE
Similarly, instead of going full-out every time you roll, put more time into positional sparring. Your training partner should attempt to pass your Guard, while you should try to retain it. Change places whenever they pass you. Let them take care of your back. Switch positions after they finish you, or you escape - and you'll benefit from intentional practice, improving your skill set more than you think.
DON'T ALWAYS RULE TO WIN; RULE TO IMPROVE
Your total, 110% effort and desire to win, should be reserved for the competition. However, if you want to progress, your training rolls should primarily focus on trying new things, experimenting, and determining what works and doesn't... Growing.
You can train with your favorite training partner occasionally with a sub-only match. It doesn't have to be done every time you roll.
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
Plan what you want to accomplish during that day's rolling session before you come to training. What number of times would you like to submit a particular submission? Is there a certain way that you would like to pass? Come with a plan - this will keep you more focused on the training.
Think about what you want to accomplish before slapping or fist-bumping someone. Instead of just letting things unfold, make it a habit to tell yourself: "I'm going for this pass and this submission." You'll stay one step ahead of your training partners and future opponents if you seek opportunities before they happen!
CONSISTENTLY DO WHAT YOU SAY
Finally, remember that consistency is the key to success in every field, including Jiu Jitsu. Don't settle for anything less than the number of training sessions you want to complete during the week.
It is often only by chipping away bit by bit that large chunks can be removed. Be sure to go to the gym as often as possible and as consistently as possible.
