About

About this project

Positional is a one-person project, built between training sessions that are often missing.

Where the idea comes from

My name is Tomek. I've trained BJJ for three years. Kids, work, everyday life. Some months I don't make it to the mat even once.

You can keep your conditioning at home. You can't keep your jiu-jitsu. But you can keep the map in your head: where I am, what I can do from here, where it leads.

It started as notes after class. It quickly turned out that what I was missing wasn't the description of a single technique but the connections between them. The app grew out of that.

Positional is that map. It won't replace training. It helps you come back to the mat with a plan instead of a blank.

What makes Positional different
A graph, not a list

From every position you see what you can do, where it leads and what sits next to it.

Your route lives in the link

Take a few steps, copy the address, send it to your coach or save it for later. No account, no login.

Learning paths

Ready-made sequences that say who they're for and how long they take.

No tracking

Nothing is collected and nobody is tracked. The site is static and the data lives in plain files.

Three languages

Polish, English and Italian, because I train in Tuscany.

On your phone, before class

Five minutes in the changing room is when this gets used most.

This app wouldn't exist without GRIP Grappling & BJJ ASD in Torrita di Siena. That's where I learned everything mapped here, and where I check whether what I write down makes sense on the mat.

The club has supported this project from the start. The coaches review the content, the team tests each new version and sends back fixes. Without that, Positional would be a pile of my guesses rather than a map you can rely on.

Huge thanks to the whole GRIP crew.
