All of jiu-jitsu,
on one map.

Jiu-Jitsu Map lays the whole art out the way your brain actually holds it — positions branching into takedowns, sweeps, submissions, and escapes, each one opening into step-by-step instructions. I train BJJ; this is the notebook I always wanted between classes.

Why it exists
"You drill a beautiful technique on Tuesday, and by Friday it’s gone — not because it was hard, but because it had nowhere to live."

Jiu-jitsu is famously a game of thousands of techniques, and every one of them only makes sense in context: where you are, what they gave you, what comes next. Notes apps flatten that into a list. Instructionals bury it in six hours of video. Neither looks like the art actually works.

A map does. Positions branch into categories, categories into techniques, each colored by what it is — red for submissions, amber for sweeps, green for escapes — so the structure of the game is visible at a glance, from your first class to your black belt.

A guided tour

What it does, and why

The whole art, one screen

Eight positions plus a full leg-lock branch expand rightward into 150+ techniques — takedowns to berimbolos to heel hooks. Open everything at once or drill into one line of the game.

Color-coded categories

Every card is colored by what it does: submissions red, sweeps amber, escapes green, defense teal, control violet. You learn the color language once and can read any branch instantly.

Step-by-step, with photos

Each technique opens into numbered steps with a photo slot per step — like a coach talking you through it, not a wall of text. Dozens ship with real competition and training photos.

Take it to open mat

Download any technique — or the whole library — as a file that works offline on your phone. Save it before class, review it mat-side, no signal required.

Yours to reshape

Add techniques, rename anything, attach your own photos, link the videos your coach sends. The map is a living notebook, not a fixed encyclopedia.

Built calm and dark

A quiet, dark interface that stays out of the way — because the point is the jiu-jitsu, not the app.

Where it’s headed

This is the live demo of an app in active development. Next up: accounts and saving, so your map — your techniques, your photos, your notes — follows you from phone to mat to laptop.
