About Digitsu · Est. 2010
Streaming jiu-jitsu since instructionals shipped in the mail.
Digitsu has been putting world-class instruction online, on demand, since 2010, back when most of the sport was still passing around DVDs. Today that means a library of 60+ courses, apps for your pocket, and a stubborn mission to help you stop guessing what to work on.
Then and now
We've been at this a while
The early years were spent traveling, filming with champions, and learning what makes instruction actually stick. Streaming, mobile apps, digital rentals: Digitsu built things the rest of the sport caught up to years later. The photo is from a film shoot in February 2014, and a couple of the faces in it went on to become very recognizable.
The last few years have been a rebuild from the ground up: a new site, new iOS and Android apps, a training profile that learns your game, and Sudo, our jiu-jitsu answer engine. The mission hasn't changed. The tools finally caught up to it.
Still on the mats
Hi, I'm Shawn.
I've been on the mats for 23 years. I'm a black belt, an instructor at Renzo Gracie Brooklyn, and one of Digitsu's original founders. I've spent most of that time obsessing over how people actually get better at this sport.
These days I run Digitsu and build it in public: the courses, the apps, the stats database, the AI. If you're curious how it's going, I talk through the wins and the misses on YouTube.
The mission
The enemy is randomness
Direction beats volume
You don't need another firehose of technique. You need to know what to work on this week, for your game and your level.
Subtraction is a feature
You can safely ignore most of jiu-jitsu for now. We'd rather point you at the few things that matter than pile more on your plate.
