Does your gym do social events? Do you have a BJJ best mate at your academy?
Most Jiu-jitsu academies call themselves teams. But when you go to training are you looking forward to seeing your friends or dreading the impending doom of getting squashed by strangers? JT & Joey outline what Gyms can do to make complete Strangers the best of friends:

  • Post Training Chats- It's not about the Money- Create Real Social Events- What makes Culture?- How to build trust between Strangers The social aspect is a huge part of what makes BJJ great.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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