Have you got a bad knee? Do you wear a knee brace and think you are protected? Knee, wrist and ankle braces of all kinds make a lot of money for the companies that make them BUT they are putting your joints in jeopardy! Simply wearing a knee brace and continuing to train BJJ is not only a bad idea but can lead to further injury. The myth that external braces protect your joints is a SCAM. The Bulletproof boys examine their experience with knee injuries, knee braces, effective tapping and rehab to get to the bottom of this multi million dollar industry that is lying to the Jiu-jitsu community.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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