New Years Resolutions 

With 2026 here, what is a jiu jitsu based New Year’s resolution for you? Attend a certain number of classes? Compete in a competition? Try to get to a certain stripe or perhaps a new belt? Or simply focus on and master a certain technique?

For me, I have really tried to grow into the competition aspect, competing in several competitions now over the past couple years. It wasn’t until my most recent competition that I was able to secure a gold medal. My resolution is to compete in at least 3 competitions this year alone, with gold as the goal.
