I've been training for half a year now and I just started to learn stuff online from scratch (stuff I never saw in class).
At the beginning what we saw in class was enough for me to digest, I went online to see some videos about stuff we already drilled in class, or to see some variants and other ways to teach it. It also helps me to remember it better by having another look at it.
Now, I want to upgrade fast for stuff that I suck at when I'm rolling, I don't really want to wait for it to be the subject in class. Mostly escapes and sweeps. I don't really put a lot of time to learn stuff to attack better because most of the time they have more details and I don't want to take bad habits.
I don't think I'll go as far as trying to learn big chunks of BJJ by myself like a new guard or even new submissions.
So I wanted to know if you guys did / do the same as I do, or if some of you guys have built their game on their own with videos and tutorials.
