Jiu Jitsu Notebook: Jiujitsu Journal for Grappling Mastery

Keeping  jiu Jitsu notebook or log book of techniques and training sessions is the key to success in the gentle, or not so gentle art.  

Jiu Jitsu is a complex art and the habit of keeping, updating and revisiting a BJJ technique journal is one of the smartest and best training aids you can have. You'll find that rate of technique retention, whether it's submission set-ups, escapes, defenses, guard passes or whatever, is directly correlated to your progression in the sport or art. 

Create yourself a habit: 
- Go to class and learn and drill new techniques.
- Go home and visualize the techniques once again. 
- Write down an overview of the techniques and detailed accounts of the important aspects or the bit's you're going to forget. 
- Pull out this journal before lessons to jog your understanding of the techniques 

Remember, this is your Jiu JItsu journal. It's your martial arts journey and your notebook to accompany it. So, forget grammar, forget punctuation, it's your space. Write in your own shorthand, use sketches and whatever else you feel will help YOU on YOUR journey through the belts. 

If you're a white belt and new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this is an absolute MUST for you. If you're blue belt, purple, brown belt or black belt, keeping note you know by now is a vital stage in the development of your game. 

Let this journal be your helping hand.
