01 · What you get

This is what you get.

A real plan, exactly as the app writes it. A complete class with a warmup, a takedown, and a featured technique, each with the breakdown points, common mistakes, and teaching cues, ready to coach from.

Sample planAdults · Mixed level · 60 min
i. Warmup10 min

Solo armbar drill

Breakdown

  • Start lying on your back with knees up
  • Extend one arm straight as if controlling an opponent's arm
  • Swivel your hips 90 degrees to the side
  • Throw your top leg over where the opponent's head would be
  • Pivot on your shoulders to finish perpendicular, then switch sides
ii. Takedown12 min

Double leg takedown

Breakdown

  • Drop your level by bending your knees, not your waist
  • Step deep with your lead leg between the opponent's legs
  • Drive your shoulder into their hips while wrapping both legs
  • Keep your head tight to their side, never in the middle
  • Drive forward and run your feet to finish
iii. Move of the day35 min

Straight armbar from mount

Breakdown

  • Establish high mount with weight on the chest
  • Control one arm, gripping the wrist with both hands
  • Slide your knee up tight to the head on the trapped side
  • Step your opposite leg over the face, arm pinned
  • Fall back with knees squeezed, hips up, thumb up

Common mistakes

  • Stepping over too early, letting the arm pull free
  • Leaving space between the knees
  • Forgetting to turn the thumb up for elbow alignment

Teaching cues

  • Two hands on one wrist
  • Knee to the ear, step over the face
  • Hips up, thumb up

Advanced progression (upper belts)

  • S-mount entry for tighter control
  • Grip breaking with knee pressure on the bicep
  • Belly-down finish against the stack
  • Armbar to triangle when the arm pulls free

Drilling by belt level

  • Beginner: zero resistance, hold the finish 5 seconds
  • Intermediate: defensive frames, drill grip breaking

02 · Why a black belt built this

Teach the game,
not your game.

Body type, athleticism, temperament. Those pick a student’s style. The instructor’s job is to make sure they have seen enough of the art to find it. That takes a curriculum that covers everything, built and tracked over months. This tool builds it for you, so your attention goes to your students.

03 · The library

Your students see everything.

A deep library curated by a black belt rather than scraped. Plans are built from real positions and real submissions across the full art, so your classes cover the parts a student might never find on their own.

03 · How it works

Set the class. Get the plan.

  1. Step i

    Set the class.

    Composition, duration, focus, skill level. White belt through mixed-belt. A single class or a multi-class arc.

  2. Step ii

    Generate.

    A complete plan in minutes. The tool will not repeat a featured technique you taught inside your repeat window, so coverage keeps moving forward.

  3. Step iii

    Take it to the mats.

    Read on screen, print, or export to PDF. Every technique links to a curated YouTube search.

04 · Built in

What makes it work.

  • Memory

    It remembers what you taught.

    Every class is recorded against the program. The next generation removes anything inside your repeat window before it builds, so the featured technique never doubles back.

  • Mixed-belt

    Plans that work for split-level classes.

    A foundational technique for the lower belts, an advanced progression and tiered drilling for everyone above.

  • Arcs

    Multi-class progressions, narrated.

    Generate a batch of classes at once. The tool sets a theme and carries it across the set so the month builds in order.

  • Detail

    Every section gets the full treatment.

    Breakdown points, common mistakes, teaching cues. A coachable structure, not a paragraph.

  • Output

    Mat-ready by design.

    Built to carry into the gym. Print, PDF, or screen, with a YouTube search linked for each technique.

  • Library

    Curated, not scraped.

    A deep library across every category, built and organized by a black belt. Not scraped from the internet.

06 · Questions

Common questions.

What is Jiu Jitsu Protocol?
It is a tool that builds structured class plans for BJJ instructors. You set the class, and it returns a complete plan with a warmup, a takedown, and a featured technique, each broken down into steps, common mistakes, and teaching cues.
How do I plan a BJJ class with it?
Set the composition, duration, focus, and skill level, then generate. A complete plan is ready in minutes. You can plan a single class or a multi-class arc that builds across the set.
Does it work for mixed-belt classes?
Yes. A mixed-belt plan teaches one foundational technique a white belt can attempt on day one, and adds an advanced progression and tiered drilling so blue belts and above are working at their own level in the same class.
Can I plan a whole month at once?
Yes. A single batch returns several class plans in one pass, ordered into a coherent arc around a theme, so the month builds in sequence instead of jumping around.
Will it repeat techniques I have already taught?
No. Every class you teach is recorded against that program. The next time you generate, anything taught inside your repeat window is removed before the plan is built, so the featured technique does not repeat and your coverage of the art stays wide. The default window is twelve months.
Where do the techniques come from?
From a curated library organized by a black belt rather than scraped from the internet. The tool only ever chooses from real techniques in that library.
What does each plan include?
A warmup chosen to prepare the body for that day's technique, a takedown, and the featured technique. Each section lists breakdown points, common mistakes, and teaching cues, with a YouTube search linked for every technique. Read it on screen, print it, or export to PDF.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can start free with no card and generate your first plans on signup. Paid plans are credit based and start at $19 a month, where one credit generates one plan. Larger plans give you more credits each month, up to 100.
