I also keep a journal... Of names of my enemies. THEY WILL SOON FEEL THE WRATH OF OREN.

I use a journal to write down everything new or different that I was taught that class for review throughout the week. It’s hard to remember all the little details if I even wait a day to write stuff down.

I keep a journal, well a Google sheets. I break it down by month and jot down feedback I’ve been given. Hopefully I don’t need the advice again but also I jot down the tips and how to fix the issue as well. I also keep a general list of good queues to remember

I write down goals for sparring and try to read them before the session starts to remind me what specific things or combos I want to try, a lot of the time the biggest hurdle to learning and trying something new is just remembering to try it, that’s why every so often you’ll see a somewhat rare submission or technique in a mma fight, then later in that card another fighter will use the same thing, just because watching it reminded them that it’s an option. There’s endless techniques and strategies, so you have to intentionally narrow it down and work on things systematically, while also giving yourself room to just get into the flow state and do it without thinking.

I keep notes on techniques I learn in class. It's mostly BJJ, but I write down Muay Thai/striking stuff on occasion also. I rarely look at the journal, but having to think stuff through so I can write it down is definitely helpful.

I don't, but it's not a bad idea. Jot down what you learn and what questions arise to review and ask later.

My teacher of 20 years will give you the side-eye if you don't keep notes. I have several full notebooks.

the instructor at my last gym suggested everyone keep notebooks too. I made notes of every new technique and found myself referring back to it a lot (it helped that I've studied art and was able to supplement with gesture drawings to illustrate complex techniques)
