About RollLab

Built by a lifelong grappler

I'm Andrew — an Aussie brown belt grappling since 2005, and I've competed across freestyle wrestling, BJJ and MMA over the years. I'm a software engineer by trade (and won AI Software Engineer of the Year 2025 🤓) and I started RollLab because the platform I wanted for my own match footage didn't exist. It turned out others had the same problem, athletes and coaches alike.

Why we built it

Training and competition footage ends up everywhere except where you need it — camera rolls, Google Drive, Dropbox, old hard drives — with no way to find that one exchange from three months ago. The lessons in it are lost. And the coaches who could unlock those lessons have had no real tools for the job — feedback gets typed into chat apps, scattered across text threads and cloud links, and forgotten by the next session. RollLab was built for both sides of that problem: a home for the footage, and a proper workbench for the coaching that happens on top of it.

We're grapplers ourselves, and we lived that exact mess with our own training and competition footage — even when we could find a video, there was no way to label, annotate and track progression across positions and moves. On the coaching side it was even worse: no simple way to review each athlete's footage, give feedback they could keep, and actually run film study as part of coaching.

Built for coaches

RollLab gives a coach a private library for every athlete they coach. Athletes upload their rolls and matches; the coach reviews, labels positions and moves, leaves notes, and records commentary right over the footage — play, pause, slow it down and talk through it with your webcam picture-in-picture, drawing on the screen to circle grips and trace movement. RollLab bakes the whole breakdown into one video the athlete can rewatch anytime.

Beyond the film room, coaches share resources — training guides, game plans, study documents — straight into each athlete's library, organised into folders. Every note, discussion and share lands in the athlete's inbox, so nothing gets missed between sessions. It's everything a remote or 1-on-1 coaching practice needs in one place — and it's coaches who subscribe, never athletes.

Built for athletes

Upload your footage, mark sections and moments, and tag each with a position, perspective and rating. Every label becomes a clip you can replay and download, positions roll up into automatic playlists, and every session lines up on a timeline so you can watch any position evolve. Your library is yours — your coach plugs into it, not the other way around.

Built for the whole corner

An athlete's progress rarely comes from one person. RollLab supports a full team around each athlete — a BJJ coach, a wrestling or judo coach, strength and conditioning, mental performance — each with their own role, all working from the same library, footage and resources. Everyone in the corner sees the same picture.
