Learn BJJ faster.
Five-minute 3D lessons that make what your coach showed you stick.
Free to download. Every lesson included.
Beyond the Mat turns BJJ technique into short daily lessons you can actually see. Every move is built in 3D, so you can rotate it, look underneath it, and see it from every angle. Then a few questions, to check it landed.
Built for adult beginners and for kids who train at a club, in English, French and Dutch.
How it works
-
Step 1One lesson a day
Five minutes, one idea, and a streak you will not want to break.
-
Step 2See it from every angle
The grip from the side, from behind, from underneath. Even from under the mat, when that is what you need.
-
Step 3Check it landed
A few questions after the lesson, before you try it in class.
-
Step 4See how far you have come
Every lesson you have finished, in one place. Progress you can point at.
What is inside
-
Interactive 3D lessons, every day

Meet your in-app coaches
Six of them. Each one owns a part of the game.
- Victor The Professor. How the system fits together.
- Dmitri Structure under pressure. Escapes and defence.
- Aisha Submission mechanics, down to the detail.
- Nkosi Balance, pressure and top control.
- Emma Your first weeks, and what to expect from them.
- Sensei Philosophy, history, and why any of it matters.
Screen time that helps their training
Five to ten minutes a day, on the technique their club is already teaching. You can see what they have worked on, and none of it replaces mat time.
- A set order to work through, not a video library to get lost in.
- Progress you can both see, week by week.
- Built with coaches, to sit alongside club classes.
Questions
What is Beyond the Mat?
A learning app for Brazilian jiu-jitsu. One short lesson a day, built in 3D so you can turn it around and look at it from every angle, followed by a few questions to check it landed.
Where can I get it?
On the App Store and on Google Play, in English, French and Dutch, and free to download.
What does it cost?
Downloading it is free, and so are the lessons. Paying does not unlock different ones. A subscription at €2.99 or £2.99 a month removes the ads and gives you Unlimited Flow.
Do I need anything besides my phone?
No. The lessons run on screen and you turn the technique with your finger. Any reasonably recent phone will do.
Is it a replacement for my coach?
No. Your coach teaches you the technique. We help you hold on to it between sessions, so you turn up to the next class ready to build on it instead of relearning it.
How does it work for kids?
The same lessons in a set order, five to ten minutes a day, at the level the app works out for them. Parents can see what their child has worked on. It works best alongside the classes their club already runs.
Which languages does it support?
English, French and Dutch from day one. This site is in the same three.
How do clubs join?
Club tools open inside the app in 2027, and they are free for coaches. Join the waiting list on the coaches page and we will get in touch before they open.
