Research, knowledge, systems and technology for understanding and advancing sport.

Wrestling
Visual
Essays™

Wrestling Visual Essays™ explores wrestling as a universal human practice — a family of systems for gripping, throwing, controlling, escaping, pinning, and submitting an opponent.

Rather than treating judo, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, sambo, submission grappling, and traditional wrestling styles as isolated disciplines, the project looks for the structures that connect them: shared mechanics, recurring positions, technical lineages, cultural adaptations, and different solutions to the same physical problems.

Through visual essays, Wrestling Visual Essays™ examines how wrestling techniques work, why they evolved, how they move between rulesets and cultures, and how the same underlying ideas appear in gi, no-gi, jacket wrestling, ground fighting, and standing grappling.

The goal is not simply to document techniques.

It is to build a visual language for understanding wrestling.

Athlete Development System™

Athlete Development System™ (ADS) is a software platform for the long-term development of athletes, combining physical preparation, sport-specific skills, training plans, goals, assessments, competition history, achievements, health data and coach collaboration within one continuous athlete profile. Built around a universal sport and physical development core, ADS can support multiple sports while preserving a single development history for each athlete. The first sport-specific modules focus on judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ). The architecture is designed to expand to other sports over time.

Sporting Goods
Expert System™

Sporting Goods Expert System™ (SGES) is a personalized decision-support system for selecting sporting goods based on the user’s sport, skill level, abilities, goals and individual characteristics. It applies expert knowledge to recommend appropriate equipment, accessories, protective gear, apparel and footwear — and explains which product characteristics matter for that particular athlete and why.
