I do. I like to keep track on what I was taught and what I worked on myself.
I also keep a record of who I teach and what they worked on. It's not too detailed, like which kata they were working on, but more like which curriculum they were working on and what kyu/dan. If it was detailed, I would be writing a book, which I did at first.
One thing I do use, instead of a notebook or journal, is Excel (MS Office). I can filter the spreadsheet on a certain student, on his attendance, how many times he worked on a peticular curriculum, ect.

ever heard of Lloyd Irvin. he is one of the greatest grapplers. but on top of that, he attained his Black belt in Judo in 2 years, and his BB in BJJ in 5 years. around half the time on each art. he did so because he would keep a diary. after practice, he would write down the stuff that he needed to work on, and stuff he did well.

I don't write down EVERY class, but I definitely keep note of the highlights and of new material and also anything new or variations I learn at seminars. These notebooks of mine that I've kept over the years have proven their worth to me over and over again- I have had to refer to them numerous times over the years when instructors have left and the art wasn't available or when I have had to quit training for awhile and have become rusty on material or forgotten some stuff altogether.

Diaries are good . . . but I don't dwell too much on the past . . . that's why I cut my hair short . . . hair is a reflection of hangning on to the past . . .

Hello Everyone,
Training Journals are a fantastic way to add to your training!! First it gives you a reference to where you have been, and sets a guide as to where you are going! All Olympic or Elite athletes have training logs t measure their progress. I have journals that go back to 1978, and references to workouts in 74 - 75. I look back and see how far I have progressed since those days.
I have an article on my website (www.Bujinkandojo.net) that covers setting up a training journal [Starting a Training Journal] .
I would suggest starting this process and keep it going throughout your lifetime.
Train Hard it is the Way!
