Journal for martial artists: monitor progress and build resilience

It doesn’t seem much, but the diary of your martial arts journey helps you to reach your full potential.

Dedicating yourself to martial arts often means learning different techniques weekly, drilling everything you learned and spreading with the training partners. It is difficult to keep up with everything. It is easy to forget things when you constantly learn new techniques and you are working on it.

Training magazines are one of the training tools MARCIAL artists of elite as Jon “Bones” Jones Credit for their mastery. It allows you to take control of your growth while writing your experiences to Dojo.

Because the Journaling is not just for poets (Overachievers)

A training diary does not concern Shakespearean sonnets on your experiences of martial artist. It is a practical tool that helps you to remember, reflect and perfect the techniques that your instructors teach you.

Studies Show that writing goals and progress makes you more likely to achieve them. A diary helps you identify models, celebrate victories and solve problems before they start to retain growth.

The purpose of a training diary is to monitor the exercises, exercises and techniques that your instructors explain in class and elaborate your thoughts on your trip. Note that you feel fantastic after performing a specific heating set during the lesson? Write it before forgetting how much it made you feel good.

Your training trip will paint a clear picture of your strengths and weaknesses. You can use it to strategize how to deal with weaknesses and make your strengths a more significant part of your combat style.

How to start a martial arts training diary: no fantasy pen requested

Are you thinking of Jooking of your experiences in the Dojo? Here’s how to start:

• Choose your vehicle: Notebooks, apps or platforms such as Google Documents are excellent ways to keep track of your progress to the Dojo. Everyone has their pros and cons, so it depends on what works best for you.
• Create a routine: Spend five to ten minutes to repain the most important things that happened during the lessons. Start with the bases, like the techniques you learned, the various steps involved when you perform them, what you did well during sparring and what you fought with. In addition, write all the suggestions that your instructor has given you when you take techniques or sparring.

Some of the main things to access during training monitoring include:

1) Techniques and Trapani

Try to be as detailed as possible when writing the techniques and exercises you learned during the lessons. Your notes should be quite detailed to make a third party learn from them. Include the details on any challenges that you have had the technique or if you think you have found a new favorite move.

More detailed are your notes, the easier it will be to perfect the techniques by examining them. Instead of writing something like “boxing combinations practiced today”, write down something more precise as “I perforated the JAB – cross – annoying – roll today under the combination. The times felt out of the roll – I continued to be labeled by my training partner”.

Being detailed makes it easier to recognize the models in your training. If you have several notes on the struggle to roll under punches, it is probably the time to dedicate a part of a training session to improve your mechanics when focusing.

2) wins and moments of learning

Some training sessions are more productive than others, so it is essential to celebrate your small victories. Have you finally made someone with a higher belt rank of what you touch? Vale a small celebration in your diary. Write the things you think have led to a different result.

Did you perform a technique for the first time while spreading? Take a pat on the back and write how you did it.

3) Objectives: short -term vs. long -term

Writing your goals is a significant part of the Journaling your martial arts journey. Use the intelligent approach by setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and tied to time objectives. You should have a uniform balance of long and short -term goals. Review your goals every month and regularly regulate them.

Build resilience: when the carpet bits

Maintaining a martial arts diary helps to make you more resilient by identifying emotional models and reformulating setbacks. For example, if you notice that fatigue removes your attention during sparring sessions, write it and take measures to solve the problem, how to consume more carbohydrates before training.

Instead of pouting after being exploited several times than you can count during training, write it and outline the changes you will make to improve. Write about failures It helps you to unplug and objectively solve problems.

For example, after a tough BJJ class, you can write something like that: “I got stuck again in the side control. Concentrate on the definition previously, establishing subsoil and shrimp as my life depends on the next time or sliding to take back your shoulders”.

The growth mentality: because Bruce Lee said it

Bruce Lee said notoriously, “Absorb what is useful, discard what is not.” Your training diary helps you understand what is useful.

You train your brain to focus on progress, not on perfection, every time you write. Did you nail a swept during the lessons? Now you have the test you are improving.
