I’ve been thinking about a simple way to level up your game, and it starts with paying attention to where you’re actually getting beat. Every time you get taken down, thrown, or caught in a specific move, make a note of it, either in your head or on paper. Look for the position or technique that hits you the most and start there. Instead of avoiding it, put yourself in that exact position during training and drill it until you understand what’s going wrong and how to fix it. Once that position stops being a problem, move down the list to the next one. Over time, you’re not just training harder, you’re training smarter, systematically removing holes from your game instead of randomly adding moves, and that’s how real progress actually happens.
