BJJ is a relatively safe martial art to practice and compete in but rarely freak accidents occur and sometimes as in this situation, they are serious.
I just thought I would let everyone know about this incase anyone would like to help this guy out.

The Success Of Solo Drilling...
It never amazes me how many people still ask, "does doing drills on your own actually make a difference in your performance?"
The reason why it amazes me is that if you ask almost any top name bjj player they'll quickly tell you that they incorporate solo drills as a crucial part of their practice.
You would think that it would have caught on to everyone by now but it hasn't and I believe I know why,... laziness and fear.
Why else would anyone ignore a simple solution that they can practice anywhere, anytime without any excuse if not because they want excuses to why they are stuck in their comfort zone?
Think about it, if you can practice drills on your own that you can adapt to your evolving game to keep you not only in shape but instilling your movement as second nature and DON'T, isn't it most likely because you are afraid of putting in the effort to break out of your comfort zone.
You and you alone are responsible for improving, and this is one area that places the responsibility completely on you.
The many comments I get concerning the BJJ Drills DVD and the difference people have seen in their abilities is proof positive that this is an important aspect of your game and if you are ignoring it, then you should ask yourself why, I believe you know the answer.
