BJJ Roadmap by Stephan Kesting for Android
As a brand new white belt this is a super primer for getting the most out of your rolling. Not a replacement for live sparing but does make it way more fun knowing how your getting smashed by those blue belts :)
Love this app i just got my first stripe in jui jitzu and love the art and this app breaks down the fundamentals and guide u through with good detail i just hope it is continued and more added like breakdowns on submissions and the key technical points on finishing them thank you stephen kesting
Stephan Kesting is one of the best teachers I've seen! I wish I could do BJJ on my college budget and have enough time to do it. But this is the next best thing!
For a white belt this app is a must almost all poistions you encounter are covered and while theres no substitute for a experienced instructor this app will show high level ways to escape advance and attack
Cant beat free. There are some instructions that cost extra to purchase but very top level info I really appreciate! Thanks a lot and always look forward to your lessons!
First off, the app is free but to access each module (approx 15 mins on each position) costs extra. Detailed descriptions of open, closed & half guards, side control, Mount, knee mount, back mount (From top and bottom positions) . Detailed instructions on defending, maintaining , sweeping or transitioning to a better position. No instruction on subs and only basic sweeps. Very valuable for beginners, but I'd recommend the sweeps, subs and sub defense apps to complete a fundamental instruction set.
Starting as a white belt, this helps immensely to watch a few times a day to get positions and some basic submissions stuck in my head. Also being able to watch the videos without using data was the hugest thing for me. Never spent money yet but I may as time goes on.
Just started BJJ. This is a great app to learn terminology and practice. It relies on having a training partner which is probably the nature of the beast. Would like each move shown a few more times to save having to rerun the videos but its a small complaint.
Stephen really knows his stuff! These videos are well thought out and put together. They are helpful and very to the point, I highly recommend them, they have definitely improved my jiu jitsu and I have learned a lot from them!
This is a lot of really useful fundamental BJJ information. I've had the app for a while now and I can't honestly remember if it was free or I paid 3 or 5 bucks or whatever for it, regardless in my opinion it's worth more.
This app has been very useful in covering small details and bigger ones as well. I find it very helpful. When you're in your bjj class there are only so many details that can be covered in a day. With Stephens apps it makes it much easier to soak in as much knowledge as possible. I would like to thank Stephen for always delivering the best content he can.
Stephan is the best instructor online, his instructionals like a gold mine greatly speeding up your learning process. This app is an excellent help to put things into perspective
This application along with Stephan's other applications have great instructions for beginners, myself included. This greatly supplements my mat training and could do the same for others. Especially if you have a good size class, it's hard for the instructors to focus on everything a beginner may need to survive some of the veterans offense. This has helped improve my mat time by allowing me to think about where to transition to next and how to properly posture and move through techniques.
I purchased BJJ Roadmap over a month ago and really enjoy the easy to follow mapping of techniques while still offering a wide variety of scenarios and counter movements. A must have for both beginners and jiu jitsu practiotioners that want to refresh their game.

Very precise and well put together. Easy to navigate around and very user friendly. I would buy this app in a heartbeat if I didn't have the Roadmap Gold edition package! Thanks Stephan, for the quality instruction.
Kinda miss leading in the picture where All tabs are available. But you have to pay extra. I do like what comes for free though. Good instructions.

Stephan is a fantastic teacher and explains everything in a way that makes sense and comes off as a great guy not a know it all black belt
Not insanely detailed would like more granular breakdowns of each move or links to YouTube videos for ease of use
Stephan's easy to understand, straight to the point, no BS teaching approach to teaching alone is worthy of 5 stars.
Very good, helpful.Explains and shows moves succinctly.
Really great for beginners, learn a lot of basics that you need to know
I learn more with him than 2 weeks in class. Highly recommended for new people learning BJJ.
nice app with clear Instructions.| would recommend it.
Stephen and anyone he works with are the most professional. Great quality.
Great BJJ Introduction from gifted teacher. I highly recommend it.
BJJ Roadmap fills in a lot of the blanks.
Stephan, I learned a lot from you and you are the best teacher on the plant. Thank you
This is awesome for anyone interested in bjj. Great if you have a partner. Nothing is better mat time.
S.K. does an excellent job of giving the BJJ practitioner a framework for approaching the art or just understanding the "game" in general.
Stephan's manner of instruction is direct and clear. As a beginner, being able to review basic techniques and positions offline is so helpful, so I'm still practising virtually watching these when travelling or just idling.
Easy to understand, with a great beakdown of every technique. Brilliant value for your money.
Very precise and well put together. Easy to navigate around and very user friendly. I would buy this app in a heartbeat if I didn't have the Roadmap Gold edition package! Thanks Stephan, for the quality instruction.
As usual, another informative and easy to follow piece from Stephan!! Couldn't recommend the website, emails, apps and dvds highly enough...
Great technical instruction to augment class drills
I've been stuck as a blue belt. I haven't been thinking if the big picture. I'm going to binge on these videos until I absorb it all. The sound stinks though.
Very well done app and easy to use for training prep and review. Can't find nogi information though!
This app has so far achieved it's results. It has prepared me for most basic moves that come your way. Great for MMA enthusiasts!

This sounds like a great app, I just cannot use it. When it opens, I have to accept the terms of use agreement, then I go to the main menu. When I go down through the menus and I click a menu item that should list some videos, it brings me right back to the terms of use agreement. I accept it, and then I'm right back at the main menu again. No joy :( I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Same thing. I would like to love it, but can't use anything in it because I can't access any of it.
