Default Bjj drills

There are drills that you can practice at home without a partner, such as upa and shrimping. The majority of your practice will require another person. I would also recommend picking up a copy of "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Theory and Technique" by Renzo and Royler Gracie to use as a guide and source of info for your training. Even if you have to use someone who is untrained in BJJ for practice, it would be very benefitial for the beginner level as you should concentrate (outside of the school) on working positions and submissions with minimal resistance. You're training partner should act as a live training dummy, and who knows, you may spark enough of a interest in BJJ to make them want to join your school.
Mahalo, Jeremy
