I've been studying BJJ for just under a year now and have seen a few move sequences taught where you progress from one move to another that flow naturally together. I've only seen a couple short sequences so far and am surprised that I don't run into them move often.
Does anyone train regularly using set flow sequences in BJJ or is it all a one move at a time deal?
I used to study Tae Kwon Do and did forms or katas that ran through the basic moves. I'd be interested to see if there is a comparable system of learning sequences in BJJ.
There are 'flow sequences' in BJJ. You should consult your instructor(s) to find out which ones are best for your ability. A highly effective sequence is the Armbar=>Omoplata=>Triangle sequence. This sequence is good for beginners and advanced practitioners. This is not a sequence that should be done by any practitioner that has not been taught basic guard play, and how to apply each submission individually. One caution about flow sequences: flow sequences are intended to be done repetitively in order to enhance the player's ability to transition from position to position, and to cement the execution of the techniques. As a result, if the techniques are not done correctly in training they will not be correctly done in competition or on the street. Learn and PRACTICE proper technique first. Above all...HAVE FUN!

Thanks for the reply. I actually have been taught the sequence you mention. I can't get triangles for the life of me though (something about short thick limited flexibility legs), so I get stuck at that point in the flow.
try adjusting the angle that you use in the triangle. it is harder for you with short, thick legs, but probably not impossible (i haven't seen this yet). ask your instructors for *ssistance.
