Improving Reactionary Play and Ground Game

[Typical]

How would I go about improving these parts of my gameplay as i know they're more my glaring weaknesses in my playing. I was told by a friend of mine to just get bodied by someone until i play "reactionary" to things and back up on almost instinctive kind of plays.

Any tips or info is much appreciated guys, Thanks :D

Practice your reactions vs stuff until it becomes muscle-memory to a point where you are comfortable with it.

Getting bodied won't train you unless you try to apply what you are practicing. I read your friend's use of instinctive as auto-pilot.
