Goal-setting is a critical part of martial arts—but success comes from more than just saying, “I want to get my next belt.” At ATTPBG, we help students of all levels create meaningful goals and stay accountable.



Here’s how to set (and hit) your martial arts goals:


  1. Be Specific. “Get better” is vague. “Drill armbar transitions three times a week” is clear.
  2. Make it Measurable. Track progress by classes attended, techniques learned, or rounds sparred.
  3. Set Short-Term Milestones. Don’t just aim for a belt—aim for weekly improvements.
  4. Stay Consistent. Progress isn’t always flashy, but consistency wins.
  5. Lean on Coaches. Ask questions, request feedback, and stay coachable.


Whether you’re a beginner or a competitor, our coaches are here to help you succeed in the gym and beyond.

Let us help you build and crush your goals. Call (561) 383-3383, email contact@attpbg.com, or schedule your free class today.
