Discover 1 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in Nokia, Finland.
The effectiveness of the sport lies in its realistic ground fighting techniques: especially various locks and chokes. This is based on the fact that in a real serious fighting situation, one almost always has to come into close contact and continue to the ground. Brazilian jiu-jitsu can be practiced by men and women, boys and girls, regardless of age and gender. The emphasis between self-defense, competitive sports, fitness and freestyle training depends on the goals of the athlete. However, the sport requires patience and continuous self-improvement, both mentally and physically.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.
That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
