Welcome. I know reading's lame,
but you gotta read this.
First thing first: I apologize in advance for how the tool looks right now. We've got our best people on it, but they're not very good (it's me).
But if you can suffer through a form that looks like it was built circa 1997, then you're going to really like this.
Here's what you'll do:
Step One: Choose your starting position. This could be something like "half guard," "full guard," "standing," etc.
Step Two: List out the moves you're semi-comfortable trying from that starting position.
You can list one. You can list 100.
Just list out the moves you know, and our workflow (no pun intended) will do the rest.
Step Three: Patience. It's going to feel like an eternity, but it's not. Your results will appear in 3-5 minutes, max.
Use this time to do a breathing exercise.
Try box breathing (4 seconds in, hold for 4 seconds, 4 seconds out, hold for 4 seconds -- rinse & repeat).
Step Four: Now you're going to get...
- A flow chart of the moves you can do from your starting position
- Warnings about where you're vulnerable when making those moves
- New moves that you should consider learning
- Drilling exercises that you can use to train those new moves for 10-15 minutes each day
Step Five: This is by far the most important step...
Read the results as if they were given by a blue belt in your class that you don't totally trust.
We all have one. The person who likes to tell you how you need to change your game.
Sometimes they're right, and sometimes they're not.
But the advice is always valuable because it makes you think about your game.
The results you get should make you think about options in a structured way and give you smarter questions to bring to your dojo with an in-person class.
These results will never be a substitute for your Sensei's earned expertise and practical knowledge.
Step Six: Start drilling.
(now).

The images below came with the site builder I used.
But I've been told that some people who do jiu-jitsu like... recreational activities... that make these images fun to look at.
I can confirm it's true, so I left them here.
