MATPREP

Get your body ready before you step on the mats. MATPREP is an 8-week solo training guide for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), built for complete beginners. It doesn't replace a gym — it builds the conditioning, fundamental movements, and safety habits you need before walking into one. The goal of week 8: your first trial class at a real gym. 8-WEEK PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM Three phases (Awaken, Load, Simulate), Monday-to-Sunday schedule, check off each day as you go. TECHNIQUE GUIDE Shrimp, bridge, technical stand-up, breakfalls, sprawl, sit-out — every move with a two-frame diagram, numbered steps, and a demo video link. Animal movements and core stability get their own sections. TRAINING MODE Full-screen guided sessions: voice cues and a timer. Drill from the mat without touching your screen. PRE-TRAINING CHECK 6 safety gates (sleep, alcohol, fever, joint pain and more) — know at a glance whether today is a training day. FUEL CALCULATOR Daily protein, carbs, water, and calorie ranges computed live from your body weight. HABIT SYSTEM Day streak, 8-week heatmap, and a training journal (daily / weekly / monthly). PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no login, nothing uploaded. Safety first: frequency over intensity, neck isometrics only, strictly progressive breakfalls. Live techniques must be learned with a coach present. Languages: English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese — follows your device language, switchable in Settings.
