🥋 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.
