Standup and groundwork have most often been separated. If we're doing a takedown class, we'll stop once the takedown occurs. I'm not even sure I've been in a class where we've gone from standing all the way to submission. @Mike

Just keep up the "not hurting yourself" streak - easier said than done, of course. Out of curiosity, how often do you start from your feet? In the fundamentals/beginner class at my school, all rolling/sparring starts from the knees, but in the regular class, we always start on our feet. At the places I trained at in NYC, we'd usually start rolling from our knees when in gi, but no-gi we'd mix it up. Just kind of wondering..... Glad to hear you made it back to the mats for BJJ!
