grapplers aren't the
most knowledgeable.
They're the most structured.
Reliable under pressure. Dangerous by design.
Technical Game Design for serious grapplers who want their footage studied, their patterns identified, and their training built around what actually matters.

§ 001The problem
ACCUMULATION
ISN'T DEVELOPMENT.
Most grapplers aren’t short on knowledge - they’re drowning in it. More techniques, more instructionals, more seminars, more saved instagram posts. But none of it matters if you don't know what your game actually needs.
When you're inside your own game every day, blind spots compound quietly. You keep running into the same roadblocks, not from a lack of effort, but from a lack of direction:
- Recurring mistakes start to feel like "your style"
- You learn to work around weaknesses instead of fixing them
- You lose exchanges, get your guard passed, get caught in unwanted scrambles and chalk it up to the moment
- The real mistake isn’t the moment. It’s the underlying tendencies that put you there
You don’t see the pattern because you’re inside it every day.
That’s exactly what the Technical Grappling Lab is built to fix.
I wasn't really training jiu-jitsu. I was just showing up to a hard session and hoping that one day the knowledge would somehow sink in through exhaustion. I thought surviving meant training well.

§ 002Why most athletes stall
Scattered focus is why nothing compounds
The athlete who gets stuck usually isn't lazy. They're usually trying to solve too many problems at once.
When everything feels important, nothing compounds.
On any given week, their focus is split in different directions:
01A guard they're interested in
02A passing system they saw online
03A new submission
04A weakness they want to fix
05A position they keep losing
Everything feels urgent, so effort loses hierarchy. Progress stalls, not from lack of work, but because too many priorities are competing at once and nothing gets developed deeply enough to become reliable.
There are so many instructionals and advice out there on the internet these days, and it was really easy for me to be interested in one thing one day and drift off to another topic entirely the next day. As a result, my progression wasn't linear and I often found myself just scattered with where I wanted to take my game.

§ 003THE MECHANISM
A SYSTEMATIC ENGINE, NOT RANDOM FEEDBACK.
Technical Game Design is not rolling commentary or surface-level feedback.
We decode your sparring footage, extract key data, and construct a custom game architecture that leverages how you naturally move.
By sharpening your tactical decision-making and structuring training around your specific constraints, we make you a more complete, efficient, and dangerous grappler.
Three pillars working together:
PILLAR · 01DIAGNOSE
COMPLETE GAME ANALYSIS
Every layer of your game dissected. Technique, rolling style, physical attributes, mental approach. Recurring patterns isolated. Habits that cost you exchanges traced back to where they began.
PROFILEPATTERNSLEAKSCONSTRAINTS
PILLAR · 02DESIGN
game architecture
The data from your analysis is used to design your game architecture. Clear funnels into your best positions. A structured A-game built around who you actually are as a grappler.
PRIORITIESA-GAMEDECISIONSDIRECTION
PILLAR · 03DEVELOP
STRUCTURED TRAINING
Weekly game plans so no session goes to waste. Specific training tailored to you to fast-track your development in the areas that matter most. Every round has direction. Every session is intentional. Your training time starts compounding instead of just accumulating.
GAME PLANSSPECIFIC TRAININGSTUDY BLUEPRINTADJUSTMENTS
The bottom line:
We don't add random techniques or force your game into a system. We diagnose what is already happening, design what your game needs next, and turn that direction into focused training.
I never imagined that my rolls — where I'm mostly getting beat up — would be analysed, audited and then followed by a suggested improvement plan as if I were a professional athlete having my game studied. I've seen a few coaching programs out there, but at this level there's really no comparison.

§ 004THE WEEKLY CYCLE
THE WEEKLY
CYCLE: HOW THE
WORK COMPOUNDS.
This is not a one-time breakdown. It's a weekly feedback loop that builds, tests, and adjusts your whole game as it evolves in real time.
- Footage creates new data.
- Patterns reveal constraints.
- Constraints set priorities.
- Priorities shape the training.
- Training creates new footage.
That is how progress compounds.

§ 005THE ANALYSIS
Every layer
of your game.
Your game is not one thing.
It is a stack of habits, reactions, positions, decisions, strengths, weaknesses, and patterns.
The Lab studies these layers through your footage.
Together, they create a clearer picture of who you are as a grappler, what is limiting you, and what your game should be built around next.
LAYER · 01PROFILE
Complete grappling profile
Your attributes, tendencies, strengths, limitations, and what your game should be built around next
LAYER · 02FUNNELS
Game identification & funnels
The positions, entries, and sequences you naturally gravitate toward, and how to make those connections more reliable
LAYER · 03HABITS
Blind spots & recurring habits
The habits and blind spots that keep costing you exchanges, especially the ones you do not recognise because they feel normal
LAYER · 04CONSTRAINT
Primary constraint
The biggest limiting factor in your game right now, so your training has a clear priority instead of scattered focus
LAYER · 05MAPPING
Game mapping
The positions you keep arriving in, the exchanges that stall your momentum, and where your game starts to break down
LAYER · 06LEVERAGE
High-leverage adjustments
The technical adjustments most likely to create the fastest return on your training time
LAYER · 07GRAPPLING IQ
Curated study blueprint
What to study, who to watch, and what to look for based on your current game and priorities
LAYER · 08DIRECTION
YOUR A‑GAME BLUEPRINT
A clearer direction for what your game should become next, based on your strengths, constraints, habits, and best positions
It's hard to trust someone, and a big thing for me was focusing on the specific things you told me in training. I wanted to work on leg locks, bolos or wrestling, but the data you had proved I had to listen.

Inside the
Technical Grappling Lab.
// The artifact · game architecture
This is your game,
This is your game,
mapped.
One slice of a real map — the top-position passing game. Strong funnels in green, leaks dashed in amber, dead branches dimmed. This is where your A-game stops being a feeling and becomes a designed system.
SAMPLE · TOP-PASSING GAME · M01.PROFILE
Strong funnel
Neutral
Leak
Diagnose · Design · DevelopSpine · Knee-cut → North–South → Back · Leaks flagged · 1
What the map reveals — your strongest funnel runs Knee-Cut Pass → Side Control → North–South → Back; your primary leak is guard retention, where open guard reframes out before you stabilise; and a forced reset to the feet is a dead branch with low output.
Standard online coaching gives you footage reviews.
The Lab gives you technical oversight over the direction of your game.
Your footage is studied, your patterns are tracked, and your training is built around what your game needs next.
Every weekly plan, adjustment, and task-based game is designed to move your development in the right direction — so you are not just collecting feedback, you are building a game with structure.

§ 008The transformation
What changes when your
game becomes structured?
When your game becomes structured, training stops feeling like trial and error.
Before
- Training without direction
- Constantly changing focus
- Disconnected techniques
- Studying everything, mastering nothing
- Freezing under pressure
After
- Clear purpose and intent in every round
- Systematic focus on your main bottlenecks
- A connected system with clear pathways
- Targeted study tied directly to mat execution
- A structured A-game you trust under pressure
Knowing where my game was breaking down, and then having a clear plan to fix those holes, has allowed me to go into practice and competitions with a lot more freedom and confidence.

Different belts.
Different games. Same problem.
Across every belt level, the pattern was the same: they weren’t short on effort or techniques. They needed objective analysis to expose what they couldn’t see and turn it into a clear plan.

§ 010THE DIFFERENCE
MOST COACHING GIVES YOU MORE INFORMATION.
THE LAB GIVES YOU TECHNICAL OVERSIGHT.
Instructionals & Seminars teach isolated techniques. They give you pieces of a puzzle without showing you how they fit into your picture.
1-on-1 Private Lessons offer great real-time corrections, but they rarely diagnose your systemic habits, design your game architecture, or structure your weekly training outside of that hour.
MOST OPTIONS
INFORMATION- ✕Isolated techniques
- ✕General feedback
- ✕More things to try
- ✕You interpret it alone
- ✕Progress depends on you connecting the dots
THE TECHNICAL GRAPPLING LAB
TECHNICAL OVERSIGHT- ✓Footage studied as a whole system
- ✓Progress tracked over time
- ✓Weekly training is structured for you
- ✓Task-based games designed around your leaks
- ✓Your game refined through 1:1 oversight
The Technical Grappling Lab is the missing piece most grapplers are looking for: not more techniques to add, and not another round breakdown you are left to figure out alone.
It is a complete game design process where your footage is studied, your patterns are tracked, and your game is actively refined through 1:1 technical oversight.
Every week, we optimise what you study, what you test, and how you train, so every round has a deliberate objective.
§ 011Is this for you?
Be honest
with yourself.
This is a premium 1:1 process for grapplers who refuse to let their prime training years go to waste on trial and error.
This is for you if
- You train consistently, but your progress feels slower than the work you are putting in.
- You are tired of walking into class guessing what to focus on.
- You can record your rounds and want your actual footage to guide your development.
- You keep running into the same problems and want to understand the pattern behind them.
- You are ready to build a structured game around your strengths, constraints, and natural style.
This is NOT for you if
- You want quick fixes, viral techniques, or the move-of-the-week.
- You are looking for another course, video library, or list of techniques to collect.
- You cannot or will not record your sparring rounds.
- You want feedback, but do not want to change how you train and think about jiu jitsu.
- You prefer jumping between ideas instead of committing to a clear technical direction.
§ 014Common questions
Answered.
What happens after I join the priority list?
You'll receive private Technical Game Design insights while intake is closed, plus first access when spots reopen. When the next spot becomes available, priority list subscribers will be notified before the public.
When does intake reopen?
Intake opens based on client capacity, not fixed launch dates. The Lab is kept intentionally limited so each athlete's footage, game, and weekly training direction can be reviewed properly. Priority list subscribers get notified first when spots reopen.
Is this a course or 1:1 coaching?
This is not a course. The Lab is a 1:1 coaching process built around your footage, your game, and the patterns showing up in your rounds. There is no generic curriculum to follow. The direction comes from what your game is actually showing.
How is this different from regular coaching?
Most coaching looks at what happened. The Technical Grappling Lab looks at why it keeps happening. Your footage is studied to identify the recurring patterns, quiet habits, and decision-making issues underneath the mistakes. Once the root cause is clear, your training can be structured around what actually needs to change.
Who is this for?
This is for serious grapplers who train consistently, can record their rounds, and want their game studied, structured, and developed with direction. You do not need to be a competitor. You do need to take ownership of your improvement, follow the program, and train with intent.
Can I get good if I train at a small gym?
You don’t need a room full of world champions to build an elite game.
The reality is, a single reliable training partner and a camera are all you need to transform how you grapple. When every round has a distinct purpose, your footage is clinically reviewed, and your training is built around your real bottlenecks, rapid development isn't just possible — it becomes predictable.
STILL HERE?
Stop guessing.
Start building.
If you’re still reading, the problem probably isn’t effort — it’s direction.
You’ve put in the hours. Done the rounds. Studied the instructionals. Tried to piece your game together on your own.
But deep down, you know your progress is not matching the amount of time you’re investing. You know there is still untapped potential.
You know there is another level in your game, but training harder alone is not bringing it out.
The cost of staying the same is not just another frustrating round. It is another year of trial and error, reinforcing the same habits, plateauing against the same training partners, running into the same problems, and waiting for clarity to appear.
If you already have the work ethic, the next step is direction.
The Technical Grappling Lab gives that effort a system — with your footage studied, your bottlenecks isolated, and your development directed through continuous 1:1 Technical Game Design.
