How to Determine if You're Not Learning Anything

Once you're at blue belt, it's not survival anymore. You have to take some initiative and ownership in your jiu-jitsu. If you just rely on your instructor and maybe your instructor is a bit haphazard in the way they deliver, you might just be touching on things and never go in depth. I think it's really good for you to pick a guard, a pass, a submission, a position and just come to understand it as well as you can. Based off the feedback you get from your coach and your training partners, you will know if you're being more successful.
