Here's a question for all you grapplers. At home, when you don't have a partner, how do you practice grappling techniques? I mean, like, do you grapple with a blanket or something? :???: <--not sarcastic..

 

Thank you

No, I don't practice at home.. There's a few drills you can drill, or you can go through the motions imagining you're doing it on an opponent. If you have 350$ US, you can buy Buddy the grappling dummy..

 

The guys from my dojo are pretty keen to spar, and grapple twice a week informally, maybe even 3 soon.

This can be used as the basis for a set of solo grapling drills - all you need is a heavy bag with straps, and a BIG tub of elbow grease :grin:

 

Try the drill - gimme some feedback - and then I'll add the next stages. This builds to include.....

 

Armbar drills

 

Guard sweep drills

 

Positional flow drills

 

--- and more.

You can stuff a snowsuit with blankets and pillows and use that as a grappling dummy.

If you have no one to roll with, then do drills. Potioning drills: swivling hips and whatnot. Aside from that, always, and I mean ALWAYS make an effert to do cardio 3 times a week. Thats is just as important as any rolling you might do. And aside from that, it can be done on your own. When you build your stamina, you make it easier for you to practice when you are with people. You won't get tired and will be able to utilize what time you have to your best ability.

 

Always make sure to do drills in cardio and postion changes quickly.

I've considered starting a note book, where I'll write down all techniques covered in class, as well as problems I have when rolling, so that I'll remember the techniques and find ways to overcome the problems I have when rolling. If I have a real problem, I'll ask a purple belt when we're rolling at his house.

 

Rolling is by far the best thing to practice techniques, because it's applying the techniques against a reisisting partner which is the hard part.
