Is training 5 or 6 minute rounds killing your jiu jitsu progress? Using a round timer is common-place in jiu jitsu gyms around the world. But what if this practice is holding your jiu jitsu back? 10,15 or 20 minute rounds sound very daunting, but you might be surprised about how you approach these rounds and how they could skyrocket your BJJ progress.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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