BJJ - Keeping Records

[ZenMMA]

Does anyone here keep a record of what they learn in BJJ classes, for example a note pad, or video the sessions.

I just had my first class today and I am keen to note everything down that I learn so I can practise in my own time (although not sure how you practise without an opponent).

Yes, my notes, called "The battlefields of battlefields" is on here, in the Training Logs in the VIP section. Many members have one. Become a Supporting Member and you'll have the added benefit of members with much more experience than you giving tips and pointers on your notes. One of the best training tools I have, I reckon. I update mine every training with notes on the technique studied as well as notes on the free rolling, where I went wrong and what I did right.

I'm using Fitocracy to log my workouts and track them. We have a Bully group on there as well!

I also use a document to track cool techniques or things that I see on YouTube to work on for getting better and my next step in skill jumps! E.G. Link to vid, brief sentence or two on the technique, time marker for when I really need to pay attention to something like hand position etc.

Yup, my training log on here is as well I talk about my thoughts of sparring and goals. Best thing I've done for my Jiu Jitsu since signing up for classes.

Other benefits of a Supporting Membership include personal massage therapist. She comes around every Tuesday, is relatively attractive in a pornstar type of way and only works her magic if I've been training, something to do with bullshido's Incentive Plan, bless you Phrosty. I don't know how she gets paid because my membership isn't that expensive, but she reckons that a "blowjob is the best form of relaxation" and she does get pretty damn relaxed around me.

What's your one like, David Koresh Jr?

I'm a lazy Apple geek, so I use some apps for technique, taping the instructions with my phone and have a training log here, but I don't describe lessons learned (takes too much time).

I use my training log more as an overview of general training and impressions, instead of going into the fine details of specific techniques. Remember that I tape it instead (unfortunally there's a silent agreement that none of the club post them on the internet).

My son just asked me why I laughed out loud.

Awkward pause, "Well, you see son, when a purple belt loves a brown belt very much . . ."
