LEARNING FAST is important for every jiu jitsu student. If you've been taking classes for any length of time, you'll quickly find a deep need to get better faster. You know some moves - a submission, a sweep - and it's frustrating when you aren't able to use them on your classmates. You can grapple for hours on end, but it's not making you progress quickly enough.
Here is the solution, and don't worry, it is not about mastering a new awesome submission or unbeatable guard that the other jiu jitsu students won't already know about. In order to progress, you are going to have to train with intention.
As you've undoubtedly heard before, if you do not make a plan you will not succeed. So to get better, make a plan, WRITE THE PLAN DOWN, and every day take a step towards reaching that plan. You should not deviate from your plan until your reach your goal. Remember: PUT YOUR PLAN IN WRITING! You must believe me about this!
A lot of people training in jiu jitsu just want to have a great guard or have great submissions. These are admirable goals, but you must break everything down to the details. A more concrete goal would be something like "keep side control for at least 15 seconds on every opponent". Another would be "Bump sweep each partner". You will be able to measure your success and take actions toward meeting the goals. If you make smaller, reachable goals you will be more likely to meet your ultimate goals faster.
It's time to mentally enter the BJJ arena. Develop a plan, a plan just for you, and work to meet your goals. Begin each training session with a reminder of the goal you set and make it come true. You are not going to be better instantaneously, and patience will still be required, however you will get there! After you attain a few of your smaller goals, you will recognize your success and you will ask yourself why you didn't start doing this sooner.
