list of submissions, reversals, etc.

So I train in MMA once a week with a group that meets three times a week (can only go once a week because of my crappy schedule) and don't have a training partner right now, so I can't drill things as much as the rest of the class can. I thought it would be a good idea to at least be familiar with all of the classic moves in BJJ so that when I have to do them I will be a little less confused (even if I can't really practice them on my own). Is there a website or a good resource that has real good descriptions of all the basic submissions/escapes/reversals/etc.?

Also for people doing MMA, how/what do you normally train on your own? Shadow boxing, Thai kicks around a chair, basic conditioning at the gym... what else? What drills would you do on yr own?

Go to BJJ.org you'll find a list of techniques and pictures that show how the techniques are done.

Thanks!!! Will do.

Stick with the basics and you'll never have to go back to them. Practice all your basic techniques and foot work at home. Most importantly though is stretch, stretch, and stretch.

I'm still learning the basic techniques, is the problem.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, treelizard. Think of it this way. When you have two advanced grapplers going at it, whoever masters their basics, is going to be the winner.
