Let's be honest—I used to rely solely on intuition.

Show up. Warm up. Drill a bit. Roll hard. Go home.

And it felt like enough… until it wasn’t.

A few months in, I realized I couldn’t remember what I worked on last week. The same bad habits continued to plague me. I continue to fall into the same traps; I still panic when I get smashed in bottom side control.

I didn’t need more classes. I needed more clarity.

So I started using this 4-week tracker.

WHY IT ACTUALLY HELPS

  1. You Set Simple Goals: I’d write down stuff like “Try K-guard” or “Focus on breathing during rolls.” That alone gave my training more direction.

  2. You Log What Happened: Each class, I’d note what I drilled, who I rolled with, and what went wrong. Simply compose a few sentences. But man, it helped me actually learn from class instead of just surviving it.

  3. You Reflect Weekly: At the end of the week, I’d write down what clicked, what needs work, and the best roll of the week. That little check-in helped me feel progress—even when it was small.

WHAT IT DID FOR ME?

I didn’t magically become a killer overnight.

But I stopped feeling lost.

Every class had a purpose. Every week built on the last. I was finally training like someone who wants to get better.

TRY IT YOURSELF?

Download it. Print it. Throw it in your gym bag.
Use it for the next four weeks—and actually see your progress.

Stay consistent. Improve faster.
OSS 👊
