"Essential Part"
"BJJ Nolej notebooks are an essential part of my training. It allows me to take notes in my own words, describing the nuances that are missing from videos. I am able to easily go over my notes and diagrams, speeding up my learning, identifying weaknesses and strengthening my game."
- Paul Farmahan




"Huge Support"
"The notebooks have been a huge support in collecting technical information from classes which may otherwise have been forgotten. They additionally provide a reference point and a tool for generating process goals in rolling. I have found the use of the notepad as a positive resource for noting data and stats."
- Mikey
