The Bjj Training Diary

Book excerpt: The BJJ Training Diary was developed to provide both the recreational and competitive athlete a way to bring clarity to each BJJ Session. Entering into each practice with a plan and goals, allows athletes an opportunity to become better on the mat in a shorter period of time. I have seen too many athletes come to practice day after day without a plan or questions to extend their skill set and this lack of planning slows down their growth on the mats. It's like sailing without a compass and letting the wind choose your direction and ultimately, your destination. The post practice instructions help you trouble shoot problem areas and help you prepare for the next practice. For those that compete, the record keeping section for tournaments encourages the athlete to document key areas of each match so they can take this info back to the gym and prepare for the next competition. Remember we win or learn.
