In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, every roll, every tap, every scramble teaches us something new—whether it’s a technique breakthrough or a reminder of what not to do when defending against leg locks. But how often do you actually remember those lessons the next day? The mind’s a tricky thing, and that’s where SENSAY's Jiu JItsu Journaling Feature comes in to play. This isn’t just a place for random thoughts—it’s your BJJ brain on paper (well, digital paper).
At SENSAY, we believe tracking your Jiu Jitsu journey is critical for long-term progress. You’re not just showing up, sweating, and leaving. You’re making mental notes, reflecting on your training, and evolving. With our Journaling feature, we give you a simple yet powerful tool to type out your reflections after each session. Think of it as your personal training diary, where you can log your lessons, breakdown your rolls, and document everything from failed sweeps to that rare submission you pulled off.
Tracking Your Stats Like a Pro
Along with the reflective side of journaling, SENSAY also offers a Stats feature inside the journal. It's not just about writing what happened—it’s about quantifying your progress. Want to track how many times you’ve hit that armbar from guard? Or maybe you're counting successful sweeps during open mat? Sensay lets you do that. In the Stats tab, users can add or subtract from tickers that track your moves in specific categories: submissions, passes, sweeps, takedowns, and more. It’s like having a running scoreboard of your progress right at your fingertips.
This feature is designed to help you see tangible growth over time, even if you’re in a phase where it feels like your game isn’t advancing. By looking back at the numbers, you’ll see improvement is happening, one roll at a time.
The Fun Side of Journaling
Now, we get it. Journaling can feel a bit “serious” or like it’s just for the super organized. But that’s where we’ve added a twist. We know BJJ isn’t just about serious training. It’s about the unique culture, the camaraderie, and yeah, the ridiculous moments we all share on the mats.
That’s why we’re working on something exciting for the future: SENSAY's own take on Shoyoroll Tapes. You’ve seen how hilarious and creative those voice messages can get, right? We want to take that concept and adapt it for SENSAY Journals.
Down the road, we’ll be rolling out a feature where our AI will hunt through user entries to find the funniest and most relatable stories, preserving user privacy while giving the community something to laugh about. These gems will get featured on our Instagram, showcasing the lighter side of Jiu Jitsu life. Whether you’re talking about that time you got folded like a pretzel during an “easy roll” or when your partner tried a new move that left you confused and tapping, these stories capture the essence of the BJJ journey.
The Power of Reflection in BJJ
Science backs the importance of reflection and journaling as part of learning. Studies from Harvard Business Review show that reflective practices, especially in sports, can significantly improve performance over time. By reflecting on each session and tracking your stats, you’re solidifying the lessons from each roll, reducing mistakes, and optimizing your future training sessions.
In the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of BJJ, taking time to reflect is key to improvement. The pros do it, and now you can too with Sensay’s Journaling feature. It’s like having your own personalized BJJ coach, one that tracks your moves, keeps your reflections in one place, and gives you a way to track your growth.
