Decades of research on motor learning and skill acquisition point to the same conclusion: the athletes who progress fastest are the ones who reflect on what they trained, not just how often they trained. Writing down what worked, what failed, and the position it happened from forces the brain to encode the memory differently than passive repetition does.
Without that step, most practitioners forget the majority of what they drill within a week. With it, technique starts compounding. Patterns become visible. The holes in your game stop being invisible. This is the system every high-level competitor builds for themselves eventually. The journal just gives you the structure on day one.
90 days, full refund, no questions. If you train consistently with this journal and don't see your skill curve change, send it back. We'll return your money in full.
We're not interested in keeping payment from someone the product didn't serve. The journal works when it's used, and we've structured the guarantee to reflect that. The only test is whether you actually log your sessions. If you do and the results aren't there, we made you a promise we couldn't keep, and we'll honor it.
Every section of the Bushido Journal is intentionally designed. The structure is drawn from research on how people learn and retain skill.
The structure ensures that you are training and learning intentionally in a manner which is aligned with your long-term goals. It allows every piece of effort you put into jiu-jitsu to build on the last.
Bushido Journal is not a blank notebook. Each section is intentionally designed around research-supported principles that ensure training is intentional, retained, and compounded.

William Watts Owner, East Coast Jiu Jitsu Parlor"I gave a few of my students the Bushido Journal and they loved it. They were happy to get something formatted for focusing on jiujitsu and not just a bunch of blank pages with cool designs. Everyone should train with specific goals in mind. Anything that does that is going to help you get better at jiujitsu. The Bushido Journal is a good tool to make that process more fun."
Ryan Teo 10th Planet and Harvard Jiu-Jitsu Athlete"After each training session, I take a few minutes to write down what worked, what didn't, and what I want to work on next time. It keeps me from just going through the motions. Instead, I'm able to stay focused on the techniques I'm trying to improve and build my game strategically."
Rory Murphy White belt, 6 months training"I started six months ago and felt like everyone around me had been training forever. The journal gave me something to focus on outside of class. Now when I'm drilling I actually know what I'm working on instead of just rolling and hoping. I feel like I'm catching up faster than I expected to."

Skill in jiu-jitsu compounds slowly. The practitioners who climb are not the most gifted. They are the ones who train deliberately, week after week.
Most plateaus are not effort plateaus. They are retention plateaus. Two practitioners with the same hours on the mat end up in different places, depending on what they did with what they trained.
Bushido was designed by an exercise scientist who trains jiu-jitsu. Every prompt and every section reflects what we wish we had when we started.
Bushido exists to equip practitioners to train deliberately. To turn mat hours into measurable progression. To give every practitioner the system that elite competitors build for themselves.

Every level. White belts get more guided prompts that help them know what to focus on. Higher belts get space for more specific technical and tactical reflection. The journal grows with you, not against you.
No setup. Open the journal, fill in the first entry after your next class, and continue from there. The prompts are easy-to-understand for all levels.
A blank notebook gives you nothing to react to. The Bushido Journal is structured around the specific elements that move jiu-jitsu skill forward: technique, partner, position, failure point, and pattern. You write less and capture more.
Yes. The journal is designed for jiu-jitsu specifically, but the structure applies to any technical grappling: MMA, judo, wrestling, sambo, no-gi submission grappling. The prompts focus on positions, transitions, and submissions, which translate across disciplines.
