Grapple.Ninja Pro Now Available

Published August 10, 2018 by Justin Eyre

I've been working on rolling out Grapple.Ninja Pro subscriptions for the better part of the summer. It's quite a bit of work for a 1 man dev team, but I'm happy to announce the launch of Grapple .Ninja Pro subscriptions backed and powered by Stripe!

I love writing code, especially when it's for something I'm passionate about, but I firmly believe that a project must be sustainable to be successful. The good news is with enough support through Pro subscriptions I will be able to dedicate more time to develop, maintain and support the web application. I am committed to continuous improvement of Grapple.Ninja just like I am committed to getting better at jiu-jitsu every single day. Likewise, if you commit to a Grapple.Ninja Pro subscription you are taking the first step through a doorway to accelerated growth. Start tracking your own training data and begin taking ownership of your own jiu-jitsu game! You can't always rely on coaches or teammates to figure out your weaknesses in your game, sometimes you need to be pro-active in your training to progress to the next level.
