Tired of losing BJJ instructionals in endless YouTube, Instagram and Facebook bookmarks? BJJ Grapple Buddy turns the chaos into a structured system for organising, remembering, recalling and actually executing your techniques on the mat. YOUR STRUCTURED LIBRARY Save any video into nested, fully customisable folders — Submissions, Passes, Sweeps, Escapes, Takedowns, Guards, and more. Share straight from Instagram, Facebook or YouTube and it's saved instantly, no copy-paste. Upload your own training clips, photos and GIFs. Rate your mastery of each technique, set reminders, and search your whole library in seconds. TRAINING LOG Log every session in seconds. In your Drills notes, tag any technique from your Library or a general concept — build a searchable record of what you actually drilled. Log your Rolls too: opponent, result, and every technique you landed or had landed on you, tracked separately for both directions. STATS DASHBOARD See your training translated into real numbers. Win/loss/draw breakdown, rolls over time, and an opponent-by-opponent view of your game. Drill down from broad categories like Submissions all the way to the exact technique that's winning — or losing — you rolls. IN FOCUS & MASTERY Your dashboard highlights exactly what to drill next, based on your own mastery ratings and how long it's been since you touched a technique. No more forgetting what you learned three weeks ago. DISCOVER & CHAINS Browse top-rated instructionals from the community and build visual technique chains that link moves together the way they actually flow on the mat. No more forgetting techniques — finally remember, recall, and execute them when it counts. Terms of Use https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
