Without the solo drill time I degrade. I have to make up for the lack of mat time with it. Same here. Without the solo drill time I degrade. I have to make up for the lack of mat time with it.

In my solo drills I usually play a video clip while going through the technique to help me visualize the movement and to be exact as possible. Some people put down solo drills and say mat time is best, which it is. But since I can't always go to class my solo drills help me maintain my level of skill and in some cases I return to class and pull off techniques I have never been able to do.

When I have down time I want to still be progressing. Do you do anything in particular to help you concentrate and get into the mental groove for maximum visualization?

I rehearse moves constantly in my 'mind's eye.' It also helps me to visualize a new technique I want to try just before I slap hands with my opponent. I am also a big fan of solo drilling. It was a huge part of my Judo training (green belt) and now BJJ training. I have quite a few submissions, sweeps, etc., that I have learned outside of class but have been able to pull off without a hitch due to drilling at home alone.
