Training Goals for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I’m hoping this will make me more structured and motivated with my training.

I’m not too fussed about winning a medal, but it will be good to compete to pressure-test myself and all the Sports Psychology I’ve been reading about over the last 12 months.

Learn 1 new technique (including set-ups) every 2 weeks, and drill it every day.

To improve my guard

Drill guard retention techniques every day
Put myself in guard during training, instead of scrambling to my feet to wrestle

Drill sequence I already know everyday, and learn another one, and drill that too!

Film Training and review after each session, taking notes on where I can improve.
