It is difficult to learn a physical skill theoretically. Meaning if you want to learn how to do something utilizing your body, thinking about it only gets you so far. You can't learn to paint without painting, write without writing, or cook without cooking. The same is true of sports, there is no way you can be good at a sport without playing that sport. An added layer to that is we can all make baskets undefended, hit balls off a pitching machine, and drive a golf ball into the stratosphere, but how many of us can execute those things under pressure with a human variable? As fun as drilling is in grappling, it really doesn't translate to actually effective grappling. Live resistance is the most efficient means to see what works and what doesn't. If you aren't working against defense, you aren't actually doing the activity or really working towards the activity, it's a simulation. It is more difficult, but you will learn how to defend and apply a rear naked choke better by being in that live scenario with that as your goal, than seeking an ideal circumstance on a willing partner. Failure is the quickest path to learning, so actually do the thing.
