The opposite of success is not failure

From Ascend Jiu Jitsu

February 1, 2024

At Ascend, the opposite of success is not failure. We believe that mediocrity is the opposite of success. Been average is easy, it doesn’t take much effort. But success requires hard work, discipline, consistency, good habits, and perseverance. These are the habits we instill in the kids at Ascend.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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