🥋 It All Starts With a Question
“How can I get better, today?”
If you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you’ve asked yourself this question a thousand times. You ask it after a tough roll, during a solo drill session, and when you’re trying to balance life, work, and your time on the mat.
I asked it, too. And honestly, I built TapFlow out of my own frustration. I was tired of aimless solo drills, clunky timers that broke my focus, and the feeling that my training can use more structure and purpose.
BJJ teaches us that clarity and structure create flow. I wanted to build a tool that lives by that principle. To build a tool that gets out of your way so you can focus on what matters: your development.
This blog is an extension of that mission. It’s not just a place for announcements; it’s my public journal for sharing ideas with you.

The TapFlow Manifesto: My Commitment to You
In a world of subscriptions and data-grabbing, I believe in a different approach. This isn’t just a product for me; it’s my craft. And these are the principles I’m building it on.
This is my promise to you:
-
You Buy It, You Own It. Period. TapFlow is a one-time purchase. No forced subscriptions, no recurring fees. You are a practitioner, not a subscriber.
-
Your Data is Yours, Not Mine. I am not in the business of selling your data. The app is designed to be your private, secure tool for your personal journey.
-
Built for BJJ, by a BJJ Practitioner. Every feature is designed with the unique needs of a grappler in mind. I speak the language because I live it.
-
Community-Driven Development. This is not a finished product; it’s a living project. Your feedback isn’t just welcome; it is my roadmap.
This Is Our Dojo. Let’s Build It Together
The best ideas in Jiu-Jitsu come from a training partner who points out a detail you missed. I see our relationship the same way. This is your official invitation to be my training partner in building TapFlow.
Do you have an idea for a feature? Did you find a bug? Is there a topic in sport psychology or productivity you’re dying for me to explore?
Email me directly. Share your thoughts. Challenge my assumptions. Your insights are the most valuable resource I have. I am committed to building a tool that we can all be proud to have in our gym bag.
Thank you for being here at the start.
Let’s roll!
