1) Practice.

2) Practice more.

3) Keep Practicing.

4) Just when you think you've done enough, do another rep.

5) Focus on you and don't worry about getting a tap or what someone else is doing.

Follow these simple steps and your Jiu-Jitsu will go improve so much so, people will think you are on some performance enhancing drug.  

I have been thinking lately about progress and improving my Jiu-Jitsu.  Basically it comes down to more practice aside from my normal training.  I've either gotta find more time and a partner to drill with or pay my kid who I'm sure will think it some sort of torture.  Pumba might be a possibility to meet up and drill with, Steve also.  Once I get back from holiday, I will really look into it more.  Pumba and I tossed the idea around already and he would be down to drill. Watching technique videos and matches will help but nothing beats hands on time.
