Master Your Moves Mindmap Flowchart Tool

Here’s a straightforward guide to using the mindmap tool for organizing your martial arts fight plans, with examples for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai, or any martial art you practice.

This tool helps you visually organize techniques and concepts, making your fight plan clear and easy to follow.

1. Add Nodes

  • Click the “Add Node” button to create a new node.

  • Example: For BJJ, add nodes like “Guard,” “Mount,” “Sweeps,” or “Submissions.”

  • The node will appear in the center of the canvas, ready for you to type your text.

  • Click directly on the node’s text to edit it. You can type multiple lines and format your notes.

2. Move Nodes

  • Click and drag a node to reposition it anywhere on the canvas.

  • On mobile or tablet, tap and hold a node, then drag it to the desired location.

3. Connect Nodes

  • Click the “Connect Nodes” button to enter connection mode.

  • Click one node, then click another to draw a connecting arrow.

  • Example: Connect “Guard” to “Sweeps” to show progression or relationship.

  • Click the “Connect Nodes” button again to exit connection mode.

4. Delete Nodes

  • Select a node by clicking or tapping it (it will highlight with a yellow border).

  • Click the “Delete Node” button to remove the selected node and its connections.

  • Alternatively, select the node and press the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.

  • This prevents accidental deletion while typing inside a node.

5. Editing Text

  • Click or tap inside a node to edit the text.

  • Use backspace and delete keys normally to remove characters or words without deleting the entire node.

  • Press Escape or tap outside the node to finish editing.

6. Export Your Mindmap

  • Use “Export PNG” to save your mindmap as an image.

  • Use “Export PDF” to save a printable PDF version, including your name and title entered at the top.

Example Workflow for BJJ Training:

  • Add nodes: “Guard,” “Passing,” “Sweeps,” “Submissions.”

  • Connect “Guard” → “Sweeps” → “Passing” → “Submissions” to show flow.

  • Add notes inside each node, e.g., under “Sweeps,” write “Hip bump sweep, scissor sweep.”

  • Move nodes around to organize visually.

  • Export your mindmap to review or share with your coach.
