## What is ZenCub?

ZenCub turns Jiu-Jitsu videos into structured technique breakdowns you can study, save, and return to.

Paste any YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram link of a BJJ instructional or competition clip. ZenCub watches the video, transcribes the audio, identifies the techniques being shown, and produces a step-by-step breakdown with timestamps you can tap to jump straight to the moment.

WHAT YOU GET FROM EVERY VIDEO
• Technique overview — what's being taught and why it works
• Numbered steps with timestamps and watch-from-here jump-ins
• Common mistakes called out by name
• "You'll have it when…" checkpoints
• "If opponent…" branches for realistic responses
• Position, belt level, ruleset, and starting situation

ORGANIZE YOUR GAME
• Library — every technique you've imported, searchable by name, position, or instructor
• Stacks — your own playlists. Build a closed-guard system, a half-guard answers folder, a competition game plan, or a drill-this-week list
• Concepts — recurring ideas across techniques (frames, base, posture, hip movement) you can study on their own

TRAIN SMARTER
• Tap any step to jump to that exact moment in the video
• Save your own notes per technique
• Share a technique with a training partner — they get a clean view without needing the app
• Get notified when a friend joins via your referral link

BUILT FOR BJJ PRACTITIONERS
Every breakdown is generated the way Jiu-Jitsu is actually coached: position-aware, ruleset-aware (Gi, No-Gi, MMA), and belt-level aware. Whether you're a white belt trying to escape side control or a brown belt drilling leg-lock entries, ZenCub gives you the language and structure the best instructors use.

HOW CREDITS WORK
Every imported video uses 1 credit, regardless of how many techniques it contains. New accounts start with 5 free credits. US App Store accounts can buy more credits at zencub.com; international accounts earn additional credits by referring friends while in-app purchases roll out globally.

WHO IT'S FOR
• White and blue belts who want a system, not just clips
• Purple, brown, and black belts who want their library searchable
• Coaches who want to send students a clean breakdown of yesterday's lesson
• Anyone who has 200+ saved BJJ videos and never re-watches any of them

PRIVACY
ZenCub doesn't track you across other apps. We only store the videos you choose to import, your technique notes, and basic profile info needed to sign you in. You can delete your account and all your data from Settings → Delete Account at any time.

### 5/5 — Using for comp prep

*2026-06-18*

I like how you can share from YouTube directly to the app. I often save videos to watch on YT but they get lost and I don’t end up reviewing them (so end up not learning the technique). I also like how I can save videos to different stacks. I have a stack for comp prep and I’ve been putting in the moves I want to use based on the positions I get into. This makes it easy for me to review my gameplan

### 5/5 — Awesome bjj app!

*2026-05-27*

Love this app. Helps me refine a lot of my techniques and understand the more complicated ones in an easy to digest manner. Highly recommended for anyone that does bjj.
