Do you feel that your Academy's standard has fallen off? Are you paying plenty but learning very little? JT & Joey pop the lid on this very controversial subject and speak openly about how you can recognise the Red flags and what you need to avoid:

  • Same old warm up- Scattered coaching and leadership- Paying too much for everything- Cookie Cutter Classes- A Closed Gym Culture No matter where you are at in your BJJ journey you must recognise these warning signs that your gym is a Mc Dojo. Once the commercialisation of any martial art begins integrity can drop and you should consider other training options.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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