New Year’s Resolution

With a New Year come the New Year’s resolutions. This year, ditch the broad promises and focus on specific goals that will enhance your skills. Who knows, this may be the year that your resolutions will create better habits.

Best resolutions for jiu-jitsu trainees

1. Train- Making a resolution to train more often is a great starting point. Realize that you have to keep your schedule in mind. Your work, school, and family may take up most of your time. If you can only get to the gym a few days a week, that’s perfectly fine. Or this may be a perfect opportunity to fulfill a broader resolution to get in shape. There are many reasons to do jiu-jitsu.
2. Compete- Push yourself by signing up for a competition. It may seem like a terrifying idea but it will be a great time to test your skills. After all that additional training, why not show it off? If there are any areas that need improvement, they’ll be obvious during competition.
3. Health- Training and a pending competition will lend to your motivation to eat healthier. Consciously eating healthy will soon develop into a positive habit.
4. Techniques- Letting your training become stagnant is the quickest way to become bored. Pick a new technique, alternate a variation, or use your weak side. You’ll feel more accomplished and in the process, becoming a more well-rounded student.
5. Roll- Use every session as a learning experience. Analyze your strengths and weaknesses as an opponent. Actively work on what needs improvement.
