How many stripes do you have? Does it even matter? Getting acknowledged for the time and effort you put in feels good but what does it really mean. Focusing on the reward can often distract you from what it takes to improve, consistent effort.
JT & Joey discuss the pros and cons of this staple of the Jiu-Jitsu grading system and if it actually helps your game.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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