Do you struggle with your weight? What is a BMI? Plenty of us have experienced weight gain at different stages of life. This shouldn't be a reason not to train BJJ. Even though being over weight can make many things hard, if you know how to use what you got, this can be an advantage on the mats. JT & Joey discuss many of the related pros, cons and alternatives to help manage what might usually hold you back and turn it into something to drive you forward.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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