Have you ever had a Cauliflower ear? Ear puffed up and super sore? This injury is a part of BJJ culture but very few people understand how to deal with this predicament- including medical doctors. Both JT & Joey have had their own experience with Cauliflower ears and have been frustrated with the lack of information on what to do. This is their own account but should not be taken as medical advice.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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