Why not just use YouTube?

YouTube helps you find something to watch.
Rafa helps you find what to work on.

Great instruction is already on YouTube. But YouTube doesn’t know your belt, build, style or what happened in training. Rafa searches inside the teaching and finds the lesson that fits you.

YouTube is built for engagement. Rafa is built for improvement.

YouTube knows the video. Rafa knows the grappler.

The right answer depends on who’s asking.

YouTube doesn’t know your belt, build, style or what you’re working on. Rafa does. It reorders useful lessons around the way you train and the game you’re building.
