I use to run lots of spreadsheet (self confessed geek!) on various goals and what not because it needs to be measured.<br /><br />Obviously, I've changed my goals but I still find it vital that your own definition of success must be identified.<br /><br />speak soonLiam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-30247388816257746332012-10-01T12:37:18.252+01:002012-10-01T12:37:18.252+01:00Thanks Phil for reading and for the very kind word...Thanks Phil for reading and for the very kind words.

Whether you define it by tournament wins, the perception of progress against mat mates, or just getting submitted less against people who are a lot better than you, I think it's important.Rubenhttp://bjjgrappling.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-73445642540622200552012-09-28T17:23:29.840+01:002012-09-28T17:23:29.840+01:00Great post Liam.

As a mid-life (42) part-time grappler, I am constantly revisiting "success" every time I get beat-up or frustrated after class (which I'm sure all of us have gone through).<br /><br />For me, it's a few things:<br /><br />* Defending/surviving against a bigger, stronger, more aggressive or technical partner<br /><br />* Executing a move or transition that I've been working on or thinking about<br /><br />* Pushing/challenging lower belts or beginners (in a good way)<br /><br />Like you said, this is a lifetime commitment. In the big picture, for me BJJ success is about physical/mental fitness, learning, camaraderie, and doing my part to make the academy a great place to be.<br /><br />Thanks and keep up the great work!Philhttp://www.midlifeupswing.comnoreply@blogger.com
