10 Things Every Grappler Should Know; Part 6

How to combine techniques:
Combinations are critical to mounting an advanced and dangerous offense.
By combining several techniques and alternating through them, it becomes very difficult for your opponent to defend against your attacks.
There are several submissions that work very well together, the armlock and triangle choke are two great examples of submissions that can be combined effectively.
In August 2008, I covered Combinations and put up an excellent video of Roy Dean demonstrating effective combinations and how to train them.
If you haven't already seen it, I suggest you check it out.
So to apply this to your training, find two submissions that work well together off of the same position. Make sure you have them down pat and start drilling them in combination.
Then once you're very comfortable with them start using them while sparring.
This will definetely take your game to a higher level.
