Does anyone have any BJJ drills you can do on your own? I am not going to be attending classes for a couple of months and would like to work some technique if possible... Right now I am just doing cardio and flexibility stuff- is there anything else that can help with grappling when I don't have a grappling partner or class? Thanks for any input!
Dummy!..i mean get a grappling dummy. Yoga perhaps? maybe even palates....i might start that stuff soon, i heard a lot of high school chicks take it (don't worry, i'm 17....not 71) -Jon
A grappling dummy is good but it won't really matter if you're someone training 3+ times a week you won't really need it and it's also very expensive. Anyways, back to the thread starter.... If you have ever been a wrestler then you'll know alot of takedown drills to do. If not, then here is a website with some BJJ and wrestling drills to do. http://stickgrappler.tripod.com/bjj/fbdrills.html
Lockflow.com Stephan Kesting's "Grappling Drill's" has some goos solo drills on it. you can read my complete review at Lockflow.com
That's a tough one. I would suggest practicing shrimping against a wall with a dummy on top of you. Stretching your hips will really help. A weight lifting exercise I like is to lay flat on your back with your arms above your head at a 90. Using two dumbells, curl them up like you are defending a key lock. It looks like this: |_O_| And do a lot of cardio.
put a punching bag (heavy) on the floor and work positions all night..... you can also practice stand up with it...... fireman's hold, power drills etc
