In my opinion live creativity training in jiu jitsu makes a lot more fun and it's not so monotone than drilling one specific position 1000 times... But what is really better to improving for tournaments..????
What works better for you guys, since everyone is individual?
Can't have one without the other. If I really had to choose, I'd go for drilling.
For me personally I've found that I will drill a move enough times that I understand the way it works and why it works, after that I need to adapt it to my style of Jiu Jitsu during rolling. With the whole Drilling v No Drilling, I don't think you could do 1 without doing the other.
Drilling helps you learn the mechanics of a sub/sweep/etc and why you put Foot X on Position Y, if you don't understand the move then live rolling may not help you develop it much further as you may just crank extra hard for a tap, as opposed to understanding the move and shifting your hips slightly or using a different type of grip.
But, I do have to say, once I understand a move I don't know if sitting drilling it 1000 times on a semi-resisting opponent is better compared to live sparring where you can't dictate positions as easily. I feel as if I have learned a lot more from rolling with my instructor and team mates than sitting drilling a move, but all those moves that we have drilled, I do use :)
Kit was at HQ rolling with Eddie recently, I think? How did that work out?
Yes? anybody knows how the outcoming was? besides of a cool roll :-)Quote:

I also think that now even winning the Worlds at purple belt is putting you up against people that train like full time athletes, and drilling a huge part of that. If you want to be successful in competitions you pretty much have to drill. You might be a natural or an outlier but I wouldn't bank on that.Quote:

I think someone that has drilled a passing sequence 10,000 times is more likely to be able to successful improvise something crazy on the fly during a match, over someone that hasn't really drilled.
Doesn't it depend on how 'complicated' your jiu jitsu is?
If you're doing basic BJJ in a Gi, just solid basics like triangle, armbar, etc.. it's not that complicated (once you've got the basics down), and you probably can just enjoy rolling and making everything better through that, but if you're doing 'advanced' stuff, like rubber guard or lapel guard or double bagging, etc... you're going to need to drill those things harder to get them into the muscle memory...?
I agree with this mostly because of the way we trained at 10th Planet Rochester. We drilled entire paths. Before, when I'd just do "creative" rolling, I would have varying degrees of success. It wasn't until I started employing the techniques that we drilled that I really started tapping my partners with more consistency. A few reasons. The obvious one is that you're being taught proven techniques. The second is muscle memory.Quote:

That said, maybe some people aren't fond of drilling because they only drill limited movements and they feel more productive by simply rolling. That would make sense for them. Personally, I'd suggest they drill more like the 10th planet style.
I think in order to be technically sound at a technique you need to drill it.
I think in order to put it all together requires creativity. I think at the highest levels you get guys who do both, and their jiu jitsu is beautiful, it's not regimented and it flows. But without serious practice of the technique, and then live application your jiu jitsu will look very stiff/linear. Just my opinion
exactly.Quote:

I agree 100%. But I like this videoQuote:
