How to Keep a Training Journal

Devon Boorman July 11, 2016

For many years I have kept a training journal. This is a log book of personal practice goals, training plans, progress toward those goals, and a ticker tape of general thoughts, comments, struggles, and successes. At its simplest the journal is a way of keeping my training front-of-mind and it helps me keep continuity from session to session.

Willpower is for Suckers: Make a Training System to Succeed

Any plan based on willpower for success is doomed. Success in anything is largely based on rhythm. The ability to take gradual and reliable steps toward your goal. Crunching away on the 10,000 hours of mastery is not going to come from a few good bursts of training, it’s going to come from a regular methodical practice over weeks and years.

The Blog is for Scholars, too!

Tournaments and their place in the life of a martial artist
Recognize how you learn and maximize your environment for success
Getting through low points in your personal motivation
