Anyone have any favorite takedowns or suggestions as to how to be a better stand-up grappler?

Lucky you, I wish I could go back and wrestle in H/S. Randy Couture & Matt Lindland has seminars that go around the country - Team Quest. They had one in NJ. I also recommend learning some Greco-Roman - read this:

Randy & Matt have modified the trad. tie-ups w. punches, clinches, takedowns. Randy is a 4 time Nationals Greco-Roman & UFC Champ and Matt is a silver medalist on the Olympics for wrestling as well as the former middleweight UFC Champ. What you learn from them in one day seminar is incredible. Add that to BJJ, what an arsenal!
