A sign of progress from beginner to advance student is the ability to start linking moves and transitions. Jiu jitsu is like a game of chess. Beginners tend to get tunnel vision. Seeing only one move, one submission at a time and getting stuck. Think back to your early days on the mat when you had only one or two techniques and the rest of your game was lock down. You know you are progressing developmentally when you start looking for a seeing the transitions for one position to another. There is no easy way to learn this as I have said is developmental. More mat time is the critical factor and of course good instruction ala machineworks.bjj with Jeremy Adkins and Fight and Fitness principle Brazilian jiu jitsu instructor Alex Ferreira.
Jason Scully is a well known grappler and Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt with mad skills. Many of his videos show a series of positions, transitions, and submission and fore go some of the finer details. However, they are designed to give you an idea of what will work. You can of course send emails and questions to Jason Scully for further clarification. I will continue to post videos that I believe will help anyone to be a better jits player.
