12 Years to Black Belt | All Access Ep. 3

From 10th Planet Newark Ohio

October 17, 2026

Coach Jon and Coach Nick sit down for a real conversation: what new people get wrong on the mat, Nick's 12 years from white belt to black belt, their favorite competition days, and why being there for your team matters. Plus Austin's old school sweep and two dog fight options from the week's classes.

Filmed over a week of classes and open mats at 10th Planet Newark in Heath, Ohio.

It's a mess, I know.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
