How to do a roadmap for learning BJJ

[xo-karate]

I've been learning BJJ for 1,5 years. I've checked Gracie university and done half a year videos from it. (Hard to find a partner who would work with me on the it.) I've done some sessions as a "garage" with newbies and with other white belts. Also regular classes and open mat sessions in our academy. Ribeiros book and lately different DVD sets.

As a seasoned educator I'd like to have a study plan - learn by building on previously learned and more on principles than unrelated moves and techniques.

Any ideas where to find a perfect or best possible curriculum or study plan? It's not our school or my instructor. They have a full time on just getting single classes running - and that's good too, but I think learning could be more systematic - now it's more like a natural method - roll, tap and learn.

Answer is not to change to another school. Next is 200 km and I'm not sure if it's better:-)

One of my good buddies just bought a 10 DVD set. It's called Sergio "Babu" Gasparelli BJJ mastermind series. Try that, maybe, I never watched it but apparently it's wicked details to each technique. No GI & GI also.

Thanks shanny_kimura,

looks like 147 dollars for 12 dvd - not bad, but does not solve my "problem" - I don't have a lack of material to learn - I am missing the order to learn them in.

I think there might be more to learning than basic - learn first the positions and surviving and then escapes and then submissions.

My professors saying is this. "Position before submission, no matter what". Email me, shannalizermma@hotmail.com & ill give you tips and ways to get techniques better & faster

Hi KickFirst,

I've been reading Ribeiro's book for some time. It's a good book and might even be a good learning plan. It makes a progressive learning circle from safe positions to escapes and to attacks.

I'd like to get more understanding of skills and concepts related to each step. Something to make my technique more better. Like two biggest mistakes that I have are not so good grip fight and bad balance during translating from position to an other.
