Copy or print a practice-log worksheet
Copy these fields into your notes or print them for handwriting. This page does not edit, save or send your record. Describe what you observed, mark unknown details and include only feedback actually received. Body context and video are optional; omit private partner details and share recordings only with permission. Leave the next task blank until agreed with your coach.

Use the relevant fields
A useful practice log lets you return to a real situation without turning a guess into a fact. Put the assigned task beside what happened, then separate your interpretation and any feedback received. For instance, noticing a partner turn is an observation; thinking you hesitated because of tiredness is an explanation to check. Keep successful moments too. The relevant fields matter more than completing every blank or finishing within a fixed number of minutes.
Fictional filled example
Fictional entry: session type, partner practice; starting conditions, the agreed grip with roles explained; observation, I waited after changing partners, although I had started as instructed with the first partner; unclear, whether the second partner had heard the same starting instruction; received feedback, the coach asked us to confirm who begins; next agreed task, blank because it was not discussed. Coach question: “Should these attempts be compared?” This records a useful contrast without prescribing repetitions or diagnosing a technical fault.
Return to the question
When you return to the note, check what was actually tried before judging the idea. If the task changed or there was no opportunity to repeat it, record that difference. If you tried it, compare the starting conditions and the point you intended to observe; include whether you needed the instruction repeated. A smoother attempt does not by itself establish lasting learning. Use the unresolved question to discuss whether to revisit, adapt or leave the task, rather than automatically adding a drill.
Paper notes or digital tools
Start with the paper worksheet or your own notes; neither an app nor a recording is needed to make this review useful. If you want digital organisation, open the linked guide and Judo AI feature information to decide whether the available tools fit your workflow. Do not treat this page as an upload or import form. Keep personal partner details out of shared examples, and distinguish any later AI suggestion from feedback your coach actually gave.
What should I write?
Record the assigned task, what you observed, what remains unclear and feedback actually received. Add a next task only when agreed with your coach. You can leave optional fields blank; the worksheet sets no required completion time.
