I think I won my first BJJ and Judo matches. I've got a winning record at every belt. But even that's just a function of competing primarily at the regional level. So much of winning and losing is just who else shows up. These days, I worry much more about process. I have wins I'm not particularly happy about because I didn't do the things I trained for, and I've got losses that I'm perfectly satisfied with because I worked my game plan but maybe he was just better that day (honestly, I loathe losing under any circumstances, but some burn for a minute and some burn for awhile. The ones where I don't really show up mentally burn the longest). If you feel like the process is right, that you're training right and doing the correct things to put yourself in position to win, then it's almost always just a matter of time before you break through.
