Just started training BJJ? Not sure what makes a good gym? When you are new to the game you don't necessarily know what to look for. Both JT & Joey have experienced the early stage awkwardness of entering a new gym and feeling out of place.
There are definite green lights that are good to recognise and also red flags to avoid. Understanding what makes a great gym and Jiu-jitsu culture is key to choosing the right place for you to start your BJJ journey.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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