Theleglog attempts to make recording a session as easy as possible. This post is a guide to make it as straightforward and clear for you to log a session.
Each session includes multiple components.

Class details

The where, when and how long

Techniques

Most classes will have some sort of technique instruction. If it doesn't, who cares? Don't fill it in. If it does, you can log it here.
Each technique is either a transition from a to b, or a retention based move. If you are learning how to pass the guard, you may start off in closed guard- stand up and finish in side control.
You can log submissions in a similar way.
Lastly, you might want to focus on retaining a position. Retention. If you are on the mount on top, simply holding on to this position is something worth learning and spending time on. In the move note, you can embed videos and highlight key details.

Positional Sparring

A staple of many classes, this is where you focus on specific positions.
Just link in the technique section, if you have any videos you want to add, add them here using an embed URL.

Rolling

  • Rolling is hard work. Pick some tough rolls - iron sharpens iron.
  • Pick some easy rolls as well. When you do that, you help them, and they help you.
  • Pick some rolls with people at about your level. That's where you'll improve the most.

    • Post Class

    Reflection is a good thing. Who did you roll with? how did you feel? did you learn much? are you hurt?
    This can all be used to help you. Maybe all your morning sessions are dreadful. Maybe you only roll with people way better than you. Have you trained six times this week, maybe take it easy today.
    You'll get out what you put in. You can log a session in under 60 seconds if you like, and sometimes I do. If it's an intricate class, go into as much detail as you need.
    You'll always be able to check out old classes and revisit old gems via the feed. You'll also be able to track your training via the dashboard.
    Have fun taking something fun too seriously.
