Right now, I'm studying open guard. I look for the fundamental from many sources like my coach, training partners, youtube and watching matches from grappler who have the best open guard.
Currently, only studying I do is on YT, then try to hit the techniques in rolling. If the opportunity presents itself to do what was learned in class that day, I’ll try it, but definitely learning most from YT. I wish I could get more from classes, but every instructor teaches what they want to teach in the realm of whatever the theme of the month is, which makes it not consistent in my opinion. Thanks again for this kind of content Chase!
Great video. What I would add from systems theory and what has helped me. When one does systems flow charts of certain positions and techniques related to these, one should build in a decision tree element. Meaning, add a decision tree type element making to aid in guiding when one would opt for one technique instead of another. For example in high mount top position , when to go for a armbar instead of a mounted triangle or omoplata. The notes should be taken in a way that doesn't merely aid recall of how to do techniques but when... Ie. If uki tries to roll into me.. Omoplata, if tries to catch leg...mounted triangle... Etc
I’ll pick a type of guard that I enjoy, e.g or half guard or spider for example, I’ll find a world champion who specialises in one of those guards, Study there matches, See what there most highest percentage submission, sweeps and passes are, drill those and incorporate into live rolling, See what problems you run into and go back to that champions comp footage and see how they handle it or watch there instructional, Generally what you find is these specialists create a game that they can funnel there opponent into positional dilemmas and tri-lemmas that they have more mat and study time on then all there opponents therefore they are always 2-3 steps and can bait people into mistakes and bounce off reacting to the 2 or 3 options there opponent is restricted to and therefore dominate And also on the side always trying to polish my guard retention and escapes so I can always stay in or quickly return to offensive cycles

I suggest practicing that move on the floor, by yourself (even without a training dummy) so when the time comes, it will work.

You have a very cognitive approach to learning bjj. Have you explored the ecological method of learning?
I now go to a ecological bjj school.
