Guard Pass
Notes the way you think
Write each move as where it starts, what you do and where it ends. Add photos, videos and links to the notes.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique notes
Your game, mapped.
Write down what you learn on the mats. Guard Pass turns your notes into a map of your game, and shows you what it’s missing.
Free to start. No account, no ads.
How it works
-
Write what you learned
A note says how you get from one position to another, and how you finish. From Closed Guard, scissor sweep to Mount, then the armbar.
-
Your notes join into one map
Every note adds to the same chart of positions, submissions and the moves between them.
-
See the loops and the holes
Guard Pass finds the systems you can chain, and the holes: a position you reach with nothing to do from it, or a bad spot with no way out.
Everything you record is free, for good
If this, then that
“I go for the armbar. If they stack, I take the triangle.” Write what you try, how they react, and what you do next.
The names your gym uses
Common positions, submissions and moves are built in, with the other names gyms call them, like 411 for Saddle. Show each one by the name you use.
The Flow Chart
Your whole game on one map. Tap a position to see every note that goes through it.
Save videos in one tap
Share a YouTube or Instagram video to Guard Pass. It’s saved as a note, ready to fill in after training.
Training log
Log what you drilled with “Practiced today”, and look back at your training day by day.
Search, filters and tags
Find any technique fast, and narrow the notes and the chart to what you’re working on.
Automatic backup
To your own Google Drive or iCloud Drive. Backup files also move your notes between Android and iPhone.
Share with your team
Send notes to training partners or students, straight into their Guard Pass, or share your chart as a picture.
In English, Spanish and Portuguese, light or dark, on phones and tablets.
Guard Pass Pro
Understand your game
Pro reads your notes for you. It’s a one-time purchase, not a subscription: every Pro feature that works on your phone, now and in the future, is yours.
Holes in your game
Positions you reach with nothing to do from them, places you want to get to with no way in, and bad spots with no way out.
Systems
The loops already in your notes, found for you. Build your own game plans, and see which submissions you could add to them.
Insights
Your training calendar, the positions you’ve neglected, and how your game is changing.
And more
Filter by system, by what you practiced lately or by what’s getting rusty. Pick your chart’s colors, and share it without the Guard Pass mark.
Without Pro, you still see one hole and one system from your own notes.
If we ever add an online service that costs us to run every month, such as AI, it may be a separate subscription. Nothing you’ve bought will ever move to it.
For coaches
Plan what you teach
- Log the days you teach each technique with “Taught today”.
- Notes you send go out as a lesson, with your name and the day you taught it.
- With Pro, see what your teaching is missing, what’s due to be taught again, and what you’ve never taught.
- Prepare lessons on a tablet, held either way.
Privacy
Your notes stay with you
- No account and no login.
- Your notes, photos and videos stay on your phone. We never receive them.
- Backups go to your own Google Drive or iCloud Drive, where only you can see them.
- No ads and no tracking. The app sends only anonymous crash reports and counts of which features are used. Read the privacy policy
