ReplayR for martial arts instructors

By

TL;DR. A jab-cross-hook combination is 1.5 seconds. A judo throw entry is 1. A BJJ submission setup is 5–10. The 45-second rolling buffer keeps the whole exchange in memory. Mount the phone mat-side, tap your watch the moment something interesting happens, and the rep is saved before the corner clock resets. No cloud, no fighter footage leaving the gym, no parent-class consent forms for cloud uploads.

Why combat-sport coaches pick ReplayR

Catch the exchange, skip the staring

90% of a sparring round is footwork and feinting. The 5 seconds that matter — the entry, the takedown, the tap — are what the 45 s buffer keeps. Saved when you tap, not when you remember to hit record.

Round mode for full bouts

Switch to 90 s (single combo) or Pro 3 min (full round / 5 min BJJ roll). Save once at the bell, full round on the phone.

Watch with both fighters between rounds

Walk the phone to the corner. Show both partners the same 10 seconds. Cue one defensive adjustment. Bell. Go again. Closed feedback loop.

No cloud — sensitive footage stays mat-side

Sparring footage of professional fighters, juniors, or amateurs has obvious privacy stakes. ReplayR is on-device only. Coach decides who sees the clip and when it's deleted.

Boxing / Kickboxing

  • Mount: ring corner, lens at chest height, slight elevation if possible.
  • Buffer: 45 s for combos · Pro 3 min for full rounds.

Judo

  • Mount: tatami edge, lens at hip height, far enough to fit the full grip-exchange distance.
  • Buffer: 45 s — entries and throws are sub-2 s.
  • Resolution: 1080p for kuzushi (off-balancing) details.
  • Save: tap on the throw or ne-waza transition.

FAQ

What buffer length works for sparring rounds?

45 s for technique and short exchanges. 90 s for 1 min rounds. Pro 3 min for full 3 min rounds (MMA, boxing) or 5 min BJJ rolls.

Can I review a submission right after it happens?

Yes. Tap your watch on the tap or escape. The entry, transition, and finish are all in the saved 45 s clip.

Is audio recorded?

On by default — useful for corner cues, taps, and bell timing. Disable for music-heavy gyms or sharing without trash-talk soundtrack.

What about fighter privacy?

On-device only. Nothing uploads. Coach owns the device and the deletion policy. Important for amateur fighters, juniors, and pre-fight game-plan secrecy.
