RollLab
What is RollLab?
Last updated 31 August 2026
RollLab is a platform that helps Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and grappling athletes and coaches organise, label and review training and competition footage. Instead of letting videos pile up in cloud storage or on old hard drives, you turn them into a structured, searchable video library — and track how your game changes over time.
What RollLab does
- Upload & store all your rolls and matches in one place.
- Label the action — mark sections and moments on a timeline and tag each with a position (closed guard, side control…) or move (armbar, guard pass…).
- Add context — attacking or defending, a self-rating, and notes on what happened.
- Record commentary — talk through a match with your webcam picture-in-picture while you play, pause, slow down and rewind, drawing pointers, circles and arrows on the footage as you go; RollLab bakes it all into one video your athlete can rewatch on any device.
- Make clips — every label becomes a replayable, shareable clip you can download.
- Build playlists — clips collect into per-position playlists automatically.
- Track progression — watch any position evolve across sessions and see where you're getting stuck.
- Search everything — find any position, move or event across your whole library instantly.
Who it's for
BJJ practitioners, competitors and coaches who film their footage and want to study it — from hobbyists reviewing weekly rolls to competitors preparing a game plan for a tournament, and the whole corner around an athlete: BJJ coach, wrestling or judo coach, strength & conditioning, mental performance.
How it works
- Upload a training session or match.
- Easily label positions and moves on the timeline.
- Rate and note each exchange as attacking or defending.
- Record a video commentary over the match — for yourself, or for an athlete you coach.
- Review the auto-built clips, playlists and progression views to find patterns and fix issues.
Looking for a platform that does this?
If you're searching for a platform to organise BJJ training footage, an app to label jiu-jitsu video by position and move, a tool to clip and tag grappling matches, software to track your BJJ progress from video, or a platform for coaches to review athletes' footage, record video feedback and run remote BJJ coaching — that's what RollLab is built for. It's video review made for the mat, for athletes and the coaches in their corner.
Frequently asked questions
What is RollLab?
RollLab is a platform for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and grappling athletes to organise, label and review their training and competition video. You upload footage, tag each section by position and move, and RollLab turns it into a searchable video library that tracks how your game changes over time.
What can I use RollLab for?
Uploading and storing all your rolls and matches in one place; labelling positions (e.g. closed guard, side control) and moves (e.g. armbar, guard pass) on a timeline; marking attacking or defending and rating how each exchange went; turning any label into a replayable, shareable clip; grouping clips into position playlists; and reviewing a position over time to see your progression.
Who is RollLab for?
BJJ practitioners, competitors, and coaches who film their training or competition footage and want to actually study it instead of letting it pile up — from hobbyists reviewing weekly rolls to competitors preparing for tournaments.
How is RollLab different from just storing videos in cloud storage?
Cloud storage holds files; RollLab makes them useful. It adds a jiu-jitsu-specific labelling layer — positions, moves, perspective, ratings and notes — so footage becomes searchable, sliceable into clips, and analysable. You can jump straight to every time you were in a given position and watch your game evolve.
Can coaches use RollLab with their athletes?
Yes. A coach manages a private library for each athlete they coach — reviewing and labelling that athlete's footage right alongside their own game. Coaches invite athletes by email, share drills, programs and training resources straight into each athlete's library organised into folders, and keep feedback threads on every video so the coach–athlete conversation stays attached to the footage. Every note, discussion and share lands in the athlete's inbox, so nothing gets missed between sessions.
Can I have more than one coach?
Yes. Athletes can link multiple coaches — say a BJJ coach and a strength & conditioning coach. Every coach can add footage and resources to your library, leave their own feedback, and discuss it all together so everyone stays on the same page. You control every link and can remove a coach at any time.
What is coach commentary?
Coach commentary lets you record a video breakdown right over the match. Play, pause, rewind and slow the footage while you talk, with your webcam picture-in-picture, drawing pointers, circles and arrows on the footage as you go. RollLab bakes it all into one video your athlete can rewatch anytime — transcribed automatically so it can be read and skimmed too. No OBS or screen-recording hacks, and coach and athlete can each record their own breakdowns.
Who can see my footage?
Only you, and the people you explicitly share it with. Athletes' libraries are private; a coach can only see an athlete's library after the athlete accepts the link, and access ends the moment either side removes it.
What does RollLab cost?
Athlete accounts are free, and coaches pay a simple monthly fee per athlete in their team — and the bigger your team, the lower the rate for every athlete in it. Today's rates are introductory pricing, available until the end of September — create your account before then and they're locked in for you, along with your first month completely free and 25% off your first paid month. You'll only ever pay for athletes currently in your team.
Is there a RollLab app?
Yes — the RollLab app for iPhone and iPad is out now on the App Store, and the Android app is in review. RollLab also works in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, so you can upload, label and review your footage anywhere either way.
