Do you wear sneakers? Always sporting Flip Flops? The truth is your fashion is hurting your feet. Your athleticism for BJJ is limited by squashing your feet into sneakers and scrunching up your toes trying to keep your flip flops on. This fashionable habit results in tight ankles and shortened achilles, which has negative effects on your knees, hamstrings and hips.
We don't wear shoes on the mat, when you wear big air-bubble, elevated healed shoes your are wrecking your ability to squat, lunge and balance. To avoid this BS and keep your feet in fit condition JT & Joey let you know exactly what you need to do fix up. They give you alternatives so you can make better choices to get your feet right for better physicality for rolling.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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