Grapla vs Grapple Flow

Grapla is a BJJ journalling platform and technique encyclopedia for grapplers who want to understand jiu jitsu and expand their journey through it. HUGE KNOWLEDGE LIBRARY. Browse hundreds of positions, techniques, submissions and principles — all bio-mechanically connected by thousands of validated transitions. See how positions relate, where submissions live, and how the parts you already know fit into the bigger picture. Build up your own techniques using the Flowlab tool, using positions and submissions as steps and adding your own notes to each. LOG YOUR TRAINING. Record sessions with voice or text. Track coaches, training partners, and gyms. Build a complete picture of your mat time, week after week. Remember everyones names and what you've ever submitted each other with. The analytics platform will be evolving over time, so sessions you log now will have better and better insights as the app grows. Grapla will record the data on your device and your Apple account (we don't track anything, ever), and as the app evolves your data will be available for interesting insights and growth visibility. You just need to log what you can, and the app should make that easy. TAKE NAMES. Are you sick of forgetting peoples names? Feels awkward asking them their name again for the third time? Start saving them in the app after each session and even give them a nickname to help you remember. The app lets you track rolls with everyone you meet while training, and can save all of the positions and submissions you hit in each round, so you can build up insights at a training partner level. Save notes and styles and even their relative age/strength characteristics - younger/stronger/etc. BUILD YOUR VOCAB. Describe what happened in training — Grapla matches your notes against the library and helps to recognise and find the positions and submissions you were drilling. Curate the matches, name them, and even save them as your own techniques. ROUND TIMER. We've just added a free round timer suitable for coaches, or players who want to throw a timer up on the phone screen and hit the mat. It can be used as a plain timer with no frills, or you can completely customise the rounds with positions, goals and reset conditions, and hook it up so it runs once or loops for all eternity. If you have an Apple Watch you can even stop/start/pause/next it from the watch too. WHY GRAPLA? • 200+ position perspectives, 150+ techniques, 100+ submissions, 100+ learning principles • New positions and submissions constantly being added - soon you will be able to add your own ones too (if we haven't already got it!) • 3,000+ transitions, biomechanically validated • Create your own flows and techniques with clear steps and fully editable details • Voice-record-to-notes that understands jiu-jitsu vocabulary • Training log with people, places, and partners • Curated personal techniques you can compose yourself • 100% on-device speech recognition — recordings never leave your phone • Built for hobbyists, competitors, and coaches alike • Works offline - no data tracking This is being built by one guy in Dublin - it might have some bugs but it's my pet project, so it will be updated constantly. Thanks for trying it out.

Grapple Flow is the position map every grappler wishes they had on day one. Every position. Every transition. Every submission. All connected on one interactive graph — across BJJ, Catch Wrestling, Judo, Wrestling, and Sambo. — BUILT FOR HOW GRAPPLERS ACTUALLY THINK — Grappling isn't a list of moves. It's a network. Side control connects to mount connects to north-south connects to back. From every position, there are attacks, escapes, and transitions. Grapple Flow shows you the whole map — and lets you walk it. Tap any position to see: - Every attack you can hit from there - Every escape you can chain - Every transition that links it to the next position - Video for the techniques (255+ wired and growing) - Common counters and your opponent's likely reactions — FIVE STYLES, ONE LANGUAGE — Toggle between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, Judo, Wrestling, and Sambo. See how the same position is attacked differently in each style. Cross-train without losing the thread. — PATHS: PRE-BUILT CHAINS + BUILD YOUR OWN — Common Chains: 78 hand-crafted multi-branch sequences across the 8 most-attacked positions (Closed Guard, Half Guard, Mount, Side Control, Back Control, Standing, Spider Guard, X-Guard). Each chain shows the initial attack, the opponent's likely reaction, and your follow-up — with hand, hip, and foot logic spelled out. Custom Paths: build your own sequences from any starting position. Save them, name them, drill them. — TRAINING JOURNAL — Log every roll: partners, submissions landed, submissions given up, what worked, what didn't. Tag partners by username. See your win/loss by opponent. The stats surface patterns you can't see in the moment. — MY GAME + BELT TRACKING — Map your A-game. Mark the positions you live in and the ones you avoid. Track belt promotions and stripes. Set goals. Watch them close. — FREE + PREMIUM — Free: explore the position graph, watch technique videos, browse the glossary.
