Below is a list of techniques common in Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Wrestling. When I first started out one of the biggest problems I had was remember all the techniques I had acquired and when to try each technique when sparring. I made a breakthrough. A simple one but one that made a HUGE difference. I started by writing down all my techniques, and rating them on which I was the most successful at. After that I started putting them into the context of when and where can I use it. Is it best used from the top or bottom position, is it best used at a 90 or 45 degree angle. From there I made this basic list and started reviewing it before and after practice.
The results were AMAZING, I started actually landing things before I had only drilled, I wasn't grasping for straws anymore, I had a plan, and all of a sudden pieces of my game started falling into place and the holes I didn't even address. This will not cure all your grappling problems but I can GUARANTEE if you use this method for just a week YOUR GAME WILL IMPROVE!!!.
