Traditional warmups like treadmill running are outdated and less effective for strength training (and jiu jitsu). Warmups should follow three steps:
• Step 1: Remove the handbrakes by addressing mobility limitations from daily activities
• Step 2: Activate your nervous system with dynamic movements
• Step 3: Strategically ramp up to your working weights
• A proper warmup only takes 10-15 minutes but dramatically improves performance
The same principles apply to both weight training and BJJ preparation. Focus your warmup on the specific demands of your upcoming training session. Take the extra time and prepare yourself.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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