Built by a blue belt during my own comeback after 3 years off the mats. Stop forgetting techniques the day after class. Log every roll, class, and breakthrough in seconds — right on the mats. Track your real progress, build your personal technique library, and stay consistent even when motivation is low. Whether you’re coming back from a break, pushing for your next stripe, or just trying to train smarter, Jits Journal was made for thoughtful grapplers who want to improve over time. Key Features: Lightning-fast logging for classes, rolls, and techniques Searchable notes with video clips and hashtags Belt progression tracking + detailed stats (classes, hours, streaks) Private gym hubs — share knowledge and videos securely with your crew Works offline on the mats I created this app because I needed it. After losing my best mate and stepping away from training, I came back at nearly 40 and used Jits Journal to rebuild my game one logged session at a time. This app, Grapple 4 Good (the charity I co-founded), and my own comeback — they’re all the same story. Free to download. Gym Pro unlocks unlimited features and full hub access.
