Have you ever trained with a BJJ World champion? Do you want to be the best at BJJ? "Steel sharpens Steel" is a saying that gets thrown around a bit, but there are outliers in Jiu-Jitsu who did not come from championship teams and still broke through to dominate the competition scene.
JT & Joey discuss the "Mathew Effect" and how that works for everyone getting better and then those special people who live outside the 'HotSpots' and still find their way to the top of the podium.
If you want to be the best and you are from a small town- can you be the best in the world? The boys break down what it might take for you to get there.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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