After nearly three years of BJJ training, one of my frustrations has been learning technique from the instructors in class, only to have it disappear the next time I am on the mat trying to call it up from memory. Brawler AI app allows me to organize my post-training lessons in writing and in video, in the car, right after each class. If my memory is hit-and-miss even then, the AI features can help fill in gaps and put them in an organized format. If I’ve made videos, I am able to add those to the journal entry as well, and call all of this up any time I feel in need of a technique review. There is no substitute for mat time, but keeping a detailed journal of what I learn each class, reviewing it when needed, can help make the most of my mat time.

I optimize pretty much everything except my jiu-jitsu. 😂This is the first thing I’ve found that actually seems to be working for me. I can just talk about my training and what happened during my rolls, and it keeps track of it and organizes it for me.The part I really didn’t expect was connecting it to Claude. Now I can be in the middle of a conversation and ask something like, “What have I been working on from the bottom over the last month?” and it can actually look at my previous training and tell me.Before Saturday’s class, I asked it to give me a quick summary of what I should be working on. It pointed out that I was spending too much time trying to get one particular move instead of finishing the position I had already created.It was right.That’s when I started thinking, OK, this might actually be useful.
