Try to start rolling standing rather than on the knees...although I realize you risk more injury doing that and not all schools are big enough to let people do that

My coach is a former Judoka from the old school Brazil judo tournaments that were big money. He teaches us about half and half standing and grappling. He hates weak stand up game for BJJ. My stand up grapple is good enough to do the leg sweeps, trips, and the basic hip tosses and so on.
I agree that mor BJJ courses don't focus on stand up enough.
