About

BJJ Study

Features
Read full description

Stop collecting videos. Build your game. Saved clips and half-finished playlists are not a study plan. BJJ Study turns scattered watching into structured study: a real curriculum organised by position and level, weekly sessions to watch, review and drill, and a record of what actually made it into your game. STUDY WITH DIRECTION Pick a goal — start in BJJ, escape bad positions, build a guard, pass the guard, or finish with control — and go straight to the techniques that match your level: Basic, Intermediate or Advanced. KNOW WHAT TO STUDY NEXT Your weekly plan says what to watch, what to check and what to drill. You stop scrolling to decide and start training the thing you chose. BUILD YOUR OWN GAME Pin what already belongs in your A-game. Keep a note per technique: the key detail, the mistake you keep repeating, the next drill. Add your own coaches' video links to a personal library. WHAT'S INSIDE • A curriculum of 227 curated videos across 76 technique categories, mapped by position and level • A guided Study Method — objective, checkpoints, common mistakes and a drill — on 9 foundational techniques • Five goal-based study tracks • A weekly plan with watch, review and drill sessions • Search by technique, position, teacher or status • Favourites and per-video status: to watch, watched, drilled, needs review, mastered • A-game pins and training notes • A personal library for your own coaches' links (Lifetime) • Local export of everything you have recorded, as JSON • A private 30-day summary of your own activity • Full interface in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Italian FREE TO START Browse the entire curriculum, then genuinely try the app: 3 demonstration videos (one per level), 1 technique with the complete Study Method, 1 real study session and 1 A-game pin. Search, notes, progress and export are never behind the purchase. BJJ STUDY LIFETIME One payment. No subscription, ever. It unlocks every video in the library, the Study Method on every technique it covers, complete weekly plans, unlimited A-game and the personal video library. ALREADY BOUGHT BJJ STUDY? If you paid for the app before it became free, you keep everything you paid for. Lifetime unlocks automatically the first time you open this version — no second purchase, nothing to restore. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who trains Jiu-Jitsu and studies off the mat, from white belt up, who is tired of hunting for the right video. PRIVACY No account, no login, no cloud, no ads. Your notes, plan, favourites and progress are saved only on your iPhone. ABOUT THE VIDEOS BJJ Study organises links to publicly available YouTube videos alongside your own notes. The videos belong to their creators; the app is not affiliated with YouTube or with any channel or instructor it links to, and it does not replace training with a qualified coach.
