Recently, I started teaching the players how to do techniques not according to classifications of techniques (e.g. pins, strangles, armlocks, sankaku) but rather according to scenarios.
For example, the classic scenario is uke being in a turtle position and tori riding on top of uke's back. From this classic situation, which is very common, what can you do? Answer: Many, many things.
From this position, you could subject uke to osaekomi rolls, strangles, armlocks and even sankakus. It's by far the most versatile position for tori to be in.
The other two key positions to drill are when both tori and uke are in turtle position facing each other head-to-head and when tori is in a guard position.
From each position, I would teach my players different options that they have at their disposal.
