You answered your own question, I guess. Just have to find better training partners who will challenge you.
Yes, that's part of the plan, but it's pretty difficult as far as the grappling goes. Most of my training on the mats will inevitably happen with less experienced guys.
One thing I'm finding pretty helpful are position drills. In that case even less experienced guys can become pretty decent training partners. For example I was doing "wall walking" drills with a bjj blue belt last Saturday. Now, had we been free-rolling I'd have never let him get to a position where he could wall-walk - and even if I had he'd have probably never thought about it anyways. But starting from that position he actually managed to stand up a few times.
So what I need now is to think of a few more of this type of drills so that I can practice from every position.
