On today's episode the spotlight is shone on Joey "the Natural" Worthing and his Jiu-jitsu journey. JT interviews his partner in crime to reveal some hidden gems on how Joey discovered BJJ while traveling and how a random Beach grappling exchange planted the seed. Amazing insights into his early rag-tag days of Jiu-jitsu in Sydney and Joey's raw athleticism and willingness to strangle another human lead him to get the BJJ bug.
Unheard stories and unbridled success, catapulted Joey forward but there were some serious hurdles along the way that almost caused him to quit! A random chance meeting and a stranger from Brazil brought him back to the path and what it takes to make him the mat savage that he is to this day.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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