• Tracked sparring in at least 2-3 sessions
• Used either Daily Training Log sparring section or Sparring Log worksheet
• Calculated your success rates for the week

Don't worry if Week 1 data is incomplete. You're building the foundation now.

Reflection Questions

What Patterns Did You Notice?

Now that you're tracking sparring data, what stands out?

Prompts to consider:

• Which category has your highest success rate?
• Which has the lowest?
• Are you attempting enough, or being too conservative?
• Which positions do you end up in most often?

What's Working in Sparring?

Based on your data, what techniques or strategies are effective?

What's Not Working?

Where are you struggling? Low success rates? Getting caught in certain submissions?

Partner-Specific Insights

If you tracked partners, any patterns with specific people?

Self-Assessment: Sparring Tracking

Rate your Week 2 skills:

Common Week 2 Challenges

"I forgot to track during sparring"

Train yourself to think about tracking between rounds. It becomes automatic with practice.

Trick: Hold up fingers for your counts between rounds (2 sub attempts, 1 sweep, etc.) then write them down during water break.

"My numbers seem low"

Low numbers are common at first. You might not be attempting much, or you might be under-counting. Either is fine - awareness is the first step.

"My success rates are bad"

Define "bad." If you're a white belt rolling with colored belts, low rates are expected. Compare yourself to yourself, not to an imaginary standard.

"Tracking feels disruptive"

It can feel that way at first. Most students find that after 2-3 weeks, tracking becomes automatic and doesn't affect their rolling.

Planning for Week 3

Week 3 focuses on technique tracking. You'll learn:

• How to use Position Trackers
• Understanding competency levels (Seen → Drilled → Execute → Live)
• Building your technique library
• Identifying gaps in your game

Worksheets for Week 3

• Daily Training Log × 5 (continue)
• Position Tracker × 2-3 (new - one per position you train most)
• Competency Matrix (if not already started)

Week 3 Goals

Set your intention:

Primary Goal: _________________________________

Position Focus: Which 2-3 positions will you track?

Technique Goal: Is there a specific technique you want to level up?

Question I Want to Answer with More Tracking:

Week 2 Complete

You now have a system for tracking sparring performance. The numbers will become more meaningful over time as you accumulate data.

Key takeaways from Week 2:

1. A/S/D is simple but powerful - Attempted, Succeeded, Defended captures what matters
2. Success rates contextualize raw numbers - Percentages let you compare across time
3. Trends matter more than absolutes - Watch your numbers improve, don't compare to others
4. Data without reflection is just numbers - Ask what the data means for your training
