When I first started bjj I was obsessed with learning as much as I possibly could.  I asked questions all the time, watched a ton of videos, went to seminars, and more.  The questions that occupied me oftentimes were like the following:

• How do I start from the knees?
• How do I get away when I have been crossfaced?
• What attacks do I have from <insert postition here>?
• Which palm goes up or down when going for chokes?
• What is the exact percentage of effort I should give when drilling?
• Should I roll hard or just play?

More recently I have been asking questions like:

• How do I take top position from anywhere?
• How can I transition to the back from anywhere?
• What is the key to controlling this position?
• What is the controlling hub I want in this position?
• What is my next attack if they defend this one?
• How can I use my lower body in this position?
• How can I eliminate their defenses to gain an advantage?

I am not saying that one list is better than the other - they are snapshots at a point in time in my development.  What questions are you asking of yourself or your instructors?  Sound off in comments, I'd love to hear...

See you on the mat.
