Log for progress
A training log that turns every roll into your next session
Logging should respect your fatigue. OneMat removes manual journaling and replaces it with a 30-second post-roll logging flow: tap position chips, adjust success counters, and save a single-sentence note. Your log serves one specific purpose: to provide the raw data that feeds your next session's focus, learning constraint, and multi-week technical cycles.
What to log
Quick chips & counters
Target positions
Tap simple position chips (e.g. half guard, side control, back mount) to record where the majority of your sparring or drilling occurred, avoiding manual entry.
Attempts and successes
Use quick counters to record your entry attempts and actual executions (e.g. 4 sweep attempts, 2 successful sweeps) to track technical performance over time.
Primary segment focus
Select what tactical theme dominated your session (guard passing, guard recovery, submission attacks, or defensive escapes) to map your game's overall volume.
Single-sentence note
Add one brief observation (e.g., "Kept getting flattened out by underhooks") to give your next-session coach readback the exact context it needs.
How it connects
Your log feeds the technical loop
Log translates to objective
The success rates and positions you log are analyzed to set your next session's technical objective, ensuring you don't drill features you have already consolidated.
Objective sets the constraint
To force active problem-solving, the system generates a specific training constraint (e.g., no underhooks for passing) based on where your log shows plateaus.
Constraint dictates the drill
Receive quick, highly targeted drill recommendations to execute before your next live rolls, ensuring you build technical depth under pressure.
Connect your log to your next session
If you want the full flow, pair this log with the on-the-mat checklist and “one focus” template.

Why you can trust what we publish
Every app comparison and training guide here comes from people who still train. We do not accept paid placements or sponsored rankings. If we recommend something, we used it on the mat and judged whether it actually helps serious practitioners.
We are active purple, brown, and black belts based in Spain and France. We train daily, test OneMat in our own sessions, and write from that experience—not from anonymous writers or stock profiles.
