You work hard but got over looked. You are as good them but they get promoted and you didn't. Belt jealousy is real and how you view yourself compared to your team mates can really take the fun out of it. The key to viewing others progress when you don't is to understand that not all belts are created equal and stripes don't equal skills.

  • Working harder doesn't equal better results- Comparison is the Thief of Joy- Strive to progress, not Impress- Make your level undeniable We have all been there - not where we want to be. In order to really level up, JT & Joey talk you through what it takes to overcome Belt Jealousy.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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