## What is BJJ Dummy Notebook?

This app is designed for Brazilian JiuJitsu, but is really for any grappler who is tired of trying to record moves with a pen and paper. Remembering positions is hard, especially all the little things about each move. I designed a system where you have full control of every body part. Drag the limbs around with your fingers to roughly the right place, then tap on whatever limb you want to position and use the control pad to get it in just the right place. Fully adjustable sensitivity settings guarantee that you'll be able to fine tune to fit your needs. 

It comes with a notepad and 3D pointers to help make note taking even clearer. Make folders of different positional groups. 

The Lapel Toggle features makes sure it's clear when you've gotten your grips.

The Freeze Dummy toggles ensure you never knock one out of position while working on the other.

The Pointer Disc makes interfacing with the pointers for annotation easy.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-25*

This is an amazing app, it is a bit hard to use but it is amazing when you learn.

### 2/5 — Great idea terrible controls

*2022-02-11*

The idea for the app is amazing. But there’s no ease of use controls.  Setting the models to positions is a pain.  I’d spend longer putting them in place than I’d be learning.  If this app gets cleaned up to be easier to use; hands down it’d be a great tool for teaching and learning.

### 4/5 — Misunderstood

*2021-06-21*

The idea is good, it also grants you freedom to customize it in any way you’d wish. It is insanely difficult to control unless you truly understand the controls. Don’t knock it just because you don’t understand it. But that being said, again I repeat, it is extremely difficult to control without taking the time to learn and having a lot of patience.

Great idea.

### 1/5 — This is the worst jiujitsu game or BJJ

*2021-05-17*

It’s so glitche and I can barely move them with out there back going in side of their body

### 1/5 — Good idea, terrible app

*2020-12-28*

App is terrible. I’m better off sticking to making notes. 
Controls are bad. Very confusing. 

Useless.

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2020-10-10*

It is so funny and so can color the dummy’s

### 5/5 — Good app

*2020-03-24*

It just takes patience and some getting used to. I made a nice Osoto Gari judo throw on my phone

### 2/5 — Not clear instructions

*2020-01-22*

The controls are so difficult to understand. All you can do is move hips you can not move legs or arms. Not clear on how to move.
