Whether you’re attending classes in person at a martial arts academy or training virtually at home, here are some ways to build accountability into your martial arts training routine:
1. Create a consistent training schedule.
One way to build accountability into your martial arts training is to stick with a consistent schedule. By training on the same days of the week at the same time, it eliminates the question of when you’re going to practice. A consistent schedule makes it easier for you to hold yourself accountable and get in your daily workout as you had planned.
2. Keep a record of your training.
Another way to increase accountability is by keeping track of your training in an app, spreadsheet, or journal. Tracking your training sessions helps build structure and organization around your martial arts goals and gets you closer to seeing results.
3. Lean on your martial arts community for support.
Your martial arts success will come from your individual effort level and commitment, but that doesn’t mean that you’re in this alone. Lean on the community you have around you as a source of support and motivation. On rough days where you have zero motivation, remember that you have people close by who can help keep you on track.
4. Define your martial arts goals.
Defining your specific martial arts goals is yet another way to build in accountability. Once you’ve set specific goals, not only will you know exactly what you’re working toward, but you can also make a plan to achieve success. Clearly defined goals also give you a way to gauge and measure your progress over time.
