Orginal Post: BLACK PANTA: Do y'all find that you learn more in open mat sessions than the actual lessons. I personally (due to time constraints) dont make it to the lessons, but make it for open mat time. I find that I learn a whole lot more. I mean stuff like x guard and half guard I need to have instruction on, but the rest of the stuff, I find I pick up outside of the class.

I learn more from instruction but I figure out what I can actually do and how to make things work for me by actually doing.
I have a huge library of techniques in my head but the ability to pull them off is an entirely different thing.
I find both to be invaluable.

I find that with a lot of things you can pick up a lot without physically being taught it, and by watching others/getting stuck in. But, having a good teacher talk through it, giving their view on things, can in many cases be very interesting/helpful.>

Got more than enough crap in my head, gimmie the mat time so I can actually get the timing to pull it off.>

i think it depends on WHO you spend your open mat time with. there's always a few morons imo who don't know how to roll to get the best results, and all they do is charge at you 110% to try and "win rolling", and end up either causing injuries, or if they're going up against a more passive person( meaning not agressive at all...like me lol), they just sit on top of the person the whole roll, and nobody learns anything or gets better timing.>

Wouldn't that be a good time to start exploring some different styles?:)>

To me open mat (open sparring as it may be in my case) is used for practicing what is taught in the formal class. From time to time I?ll learn something new (depending of course who I?m sparring with) but when I?m touching hands with a fellow student I just focus on applying what I?ve learned ? which is not to say that I don?t learn anything.
Something of a tangent: I don?t learn a damn thing when I spar with someone who thinks just because he taped me on the chest/face/leg that he ?got? me. ?I got you,? says my partner, ?Oh really,? I reply?five seconds later? ?Oh shit! What was that,? says my partner, ?Oh, I forgot you don?t practice Qin Na here,? says I.>
