Jiu Jitsu Journal

When training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or MMA at Long Island MMA on Long Island NY,
you learn at least one move or technique per class. In some classes
you will learn more than one move and in some classes you will work on
perfecting one move. In either case it's important to try and remember
what you learned in class on that day, these techniques you learn in
class will come in handy in love training. Often I'm in a certain
position in our live training sessions and ill instantly remember a
move from class that might help me escape a bad position. The only
reason I'm able to remember nearly all the moves I was taught in class
is because I keep a journal of all the moves we learned in class and I
sometimes study them so I won't forget how to do a move.
Keeping a journal is a common practice in many different BJJ
schools, though not mandatory for class I would highly recommend it
especially for more complicated moves. Techniques often have many
different parts so it's important to remember all the options you have
so you can maximize the effectiveness of the move itself. Often at
Long Island MMA after class the instructors or some high level
grappling competitors will stick around to drill some moves. It's at
this point in class were you can ask a instructor or competitor
questions or advice about a move you want to learn, it's also just as
important at this time to record all the advice you got all this
information is the key to Brazilian jiu jitsu success.
Eventually the idea is to make these moves become second nature but
honestly that takes a lot of training and mat time. So until they do
yourself a favor and write it down. As soon as I get home I write down
the moves we learned and a description of them just to make sure I can
remember them. I always make it a point to try moves we did in the
previous class as well this will ensure I'm keeping myself sharp.
