NEW: Gi Mastery - The Chokes iPhone App

[fightme]

One of the black belts(Marcos Torregrosa) from my school is releasing a BJJ app for the iPhone/iPod touch called "Gi Mastery - The Chokes".

I am told that the application will be free and will be available the the Apple iStore by next Saturday.

Here are a couple of the techniques for the iPhone application:

I am told this will be in the free iPhone/iPod touch app as well.

That's a really cool idea! Now the only thing I need is an iphone or itouch!

Good god man, what's next? Back in the day... You didn't teach just ANYONE the secrets of shime waza... That's all good stuff. I'll type it before I even look but I have a clue. I hope it's nice little old ladies loading these nasty apps and not joe (hard time) blow learning MY secrets...

Bastards! I hate "BJJ" Seriously, "what's next"???? You think this new "FREE" app was FREE?

Hey guys I just got word the the application is on the iStore and now available to download!!!

Just search for "Gi Subs" in the itunes store.

I just downloaded the app and some of the techniques are for more advanced BJJ practitioners. There is a choke from inside the guard which I have never seen before.

BTW..He has a no-gi instructional coming out on the iPhone/iPod touch next month.

How do these compare to the no-gi "Submissions" and "Guard Sweeps" applications also for the iPhone?

I actually have both "Submissions" and "Guard Sweeps" and the first difference is that those two are no-gi and Gi Subs 1 is for gi. No disrespect to
the Kesting and the other guy the techniques on Gi Subs 1 are really quite a bit more advanced. "Yemaso" is a world class level BJJ competitor with sick technique.

Thx. I guess it depends if you're into gi or no gi, and also how advanced you already are!

Hey. I personally have done very little grapples, but i think the videos your instructer and others who have helped made it have done a fantastic job.
The audio and video clarity is impeccable, and it was a great job at capturing the right angle of camera so we can see whats going on.

+ The fact that its currently free, i would be HAPPY to pay a small fee even if there were several instructional videos.

Even without an iphone or touch (lucky i have the phone ), a person being able to view these on youtube alone is great, but the portability to have on your phone and then practice with friends is great.

I haven't seen this on apple store, so if its up ill find it asap (i realise this thread is a little old but i can't help myself)

Great since trying to carry around a desktop computer or even a labtop can be cumbersome. Excellent way to show quick references if needed while practicing. You can even be in a ground position and grab the phone and look at the video.

I like bringing my iPod touch on to the mat when practicing techniques. We have a special class on Sundays where you can practice any techniques you want. It is very convenient having it on a mobile device.
