Why Keep a Training Log? Four Benefits

1. Track Progress - see how far you've come
2. Identify Weaknesses - focus training on deficiencies
3. Set Goals - SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
4. Stay Motivated - progress visibility boosts confidence

What to Include

Date/time, workout duration, techniques practiced, drills and sparring notes, observations and challenges.

Tips

"Keep it simple. Don't overcomplicate your log. The goal is to track your progress, not write a novel."
