Best Heart Rate Monitors for Jiu Jitsu Training with SENSAY

Imagine seeing your heart rate live on screen during every roll. The SENSAY Live Overlay turns your data into motion, showing how hard you are pushing in real time. Whether you are training or competing, your performance becomes visible and measurable.

At SENSAY, we are redefining how Jiu Jitsu athletes train and perform. Our app connects with all Bluetooth heart rate monitors, giving you real-time feedback that helps you track progress and optimize every session.

What Is the SENSAY Live Overlay?

The SENSAY Live Overlay shows your heart rate and effort during training or live events. It converts raw data into a simple visual bar that moves with your intensity. Coaches can track performance live, and spectators can see the rhythm of a match as it happens. The overlay updates instantly through your connected monitor and gives everyone a new way to experience the science of Jiu Jitsu.

Why Choose a Bicep Armband?

In Jiu Jitsu, movement matters. A bicep armband stays out of the way while delivering accurate heart rate data. It remains secure through scrambles, rolls, and grips, letting you train naturally while still capturing every beat.
