Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves reviewing information at gradually increasing intervals. This method is particularly effective for long-term retention of knowledge, making it an excellent tool for Jiu-Jitsu practitioners.

How Spaced Repetition Works

  1. Learn a new technique or concept
  2. Review it after a short interval (e.g., 1 day)
  3. If recalled successfully, increase the interval (e.g., 3 days)
  4. If not recalled well, decrease the interval
  5. Repeat this process, gradually increasing intervals for well-remembered items

Benefits for Jiu-Jitsu Training

  • Improved long-term retention of techniques
  • Efficient use of study time
  • Helps identify areas that need more focus
  • Enhances overall learning and skill development

Implementing Spaced Repetition in Your Training

  1. Digital Flashcards: Use apps like Mochi or Anki to create flashcards for techniques and concepts.
  2. Training Journal: Keep a log of techniques learned and schedule review sessions.
  3. Drilling Schedule: Incorporate spaced repetition into your drilling routine.
  4. Video Review: Record your training sessions and review them at increasing intervals.
