TO prefeace this, it isnt an issue I'm having, but one of my wrestling friends.
We've both have some BJJ experience from learning from guys who train.
A big difference is after 3 years of wrestling ad 4 other TSD, I can tell when I have leverage or how to get it.
I.E. going for the Belly down armbar but I was having trouble so I got the leg right and sat our for the omoplata.
Is there any way other than regular rolling that I can get him used to catching these things and getting subs based on positioning instead of missing obvious moves?
The other big issues hes having is muscling.
Hes 221 5'11 and I'm 5'7 and 148.
Even when I tell him half speed to focus on proper technique, halfway in he'll forget and start forcing things in.
My concern is that he'll begin to think he can just do that when he starts competing and will put himself in some bad positions, just like he did when we wrestled in high school. I mean, he rolled into my rear naked and Guillotine many times.
He's also having a problem really using his hips, even with the size difference, he cant get his hips right for a proper armbar and I can usually get him in a stack and if it were a match, I could just swing away..
We're both looking into gyms for different competitive reasons, but since he's trying to go to MMA I'm trying to help him break as many bad habits as he can now, so he doesnt have to later.
You guys have any drills or anything that would help us break his habits?
He asked me to help coach his striking, but since I have far more grappling experience than him too, I figured I'd help as much as I could until he got certified instructor.
