Born on the Mats of Norway

We've all been there. You just finished an amazing seminar, your head buzzing with 15 new details that will revolutionize your game. You scribble them into a notebook. Two weeks later, you open that notebook and read: "Grab lapel, spin under, magic happens." And you have absolutely no idea what it means.

BJJ is the most complex martial art on the planet. Why are we still trying to organize it with messy notebooks?

The Founder Story

I’m a 26-year-old purple belt from Norway. For the last 12 years, I’ve been training in a small, tight-knit academy. Small clubs are the heart of BJJ, providing amazing community and tough rolls. But without the rigid structure of giant affiliations, your personal progress is often left up to you.

Over the years, I realized my biggest opponent wasn't the black belt crushing me in sparring—it was my own memory. I was learning techniques in isolation, but struggling to see the bigger picture. How does this sweep connect to that pass I learned three years ago?

Why TapMap Exists

I built TapMap because I needed it. I wanted a way to visualize my game, not just list it. I wanted to see the connections—the "map" of Jiu-Jitsu.

TapMap isn't another massive video library taught by world champions you'll never meet. It's a tool to help you organize the knowledge you already have, track what you're actually hitting in sparring, and finally connect the dots in your own game.
