BJJ Tracker
Diogo Leal9 downloadsLog Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training sessions, positions, drills and goals, with a stats dashboard.
- Overview
- Scorecard
- Updates4
An Obsidian plugin to log your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training sessions, positions & techniques, drills and goals as regular notes, and follow your progress on a stats dashboard.
Everything is plain Markdown with properties (frontmatter): edit notes by hand, move them anywhere in your vault, or query them with Bases / Dataview. The interface is available in English and Portuguese (Brazil), picked automatically from Obsidian's language setting.
Features
Dashboard
- Rank: current belt and stripes, time at the current rank and sessions since your last promotion.
- Stats: sessions and mat time this week (against your weekly goal), this month, this year and in total. Also your weekly streak, and rolls, submissions and taps this month.
- Frequency heatmap of the last 26 weeks, plus mat time per training type over the last 90 days.
- Active goals with progress bars, days left (or overdue), a +1 button for manual goals and a ✓ button to complete them.
- This week's drills against each drill's weekly target, with a ✓ button to log a session today.
- Position repertoire by proficiency level and category, and the positions you haven't trained the longest.
- Most trained techniques and a table of recent sessions.
- Quick buttons to log a training session or create a position, drill or goal.
Training log
Date, type (Gi, No-Gi, open mat, private lesson, competition…), duration, academy, instructor and intensity (1–10). Also the techniques and drills you worked on, rolls, submissions landed, times tapped, injuries and notes.
Techniques and drills are entered as chips that suggest your existing notes as you type. A name that doesn't exist yet becomes a link you can fill in later. Logging a session with drills also records that session in each drill note.
Positions & techniques
A library of positions with category (guard, passing, sweeps, submissions, escapes, takedowns…), perspective (top / bottom / neutral) and a proficiency level:
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | Aware |
| 2 | Understand the details |
| 3 | Can do it drilling |
| 4 | Can do it rolling |
| 5 | Mastered |
Each position note comes with sections for key details, step by step, common mistakes, follow-ups, counters, related positions and references (e.g. a video link).
Drills
Sets × reps, time, positions trained and a weekly target. Every session is stored as a date in the note, so the dashboard can show how many times you drilled each one this week.
Goals
Short, medium or long term goals with category, deadline and status (active, paused, done, abandoned).
Progress is tracked automatically:
| Metric | How progress is measured |
|---|---|
| Checklist | Ticked - [x] tasks in the goal note |
| Number of sessions | Training notes between start and deadline |
| Mat hours | Sum of training duration between start and deadline |
| Manual | The progress counter, incremented with the dashboard's +1 button |
Dashboard in any note
Drop any part of the dashboard into a note, such as your daily note, with a bjj code block. An empty block
renders the whole dashboard; otherwise list the sections you want:
```bjj
summary
goals
drills
```
Sections: summary, heatmap, goals, drills, positions, techniques, recent.
Blocks update when your BJJ notes or the plugin settings change.
Commands
Open the dashboard from the ribbon (swords icon) or the command palette. The ribbon also has a button to log a training session.

Settings
The settings are listed in Obsidian's settings search.
- Rank: belt, stripes and last promotion date.
- Training: default academy, instructor, training type and duration, and your weekly training goal (used for the weekly stat and the streak).
- Folders: root folder (default
BJJ) and the subfolders for training, positions, drills and goals, and whether to open notes after creating them.
