Episode 329: Have you ever had a Private Lesson with your coach?
Are they the secret sauce to boosting your skills, or just another checkbox for moving up the ranks? JT & Joey discuss the potential growth that comes from one-on-one sessions but also the ethical questions that arise when gyms link them to belt progression. With countless online platforms has this form of training lost some of it's appeal as more people learn BJJ on their laptop and phone.
From it's original roots in early Brazil exclusively focused on 1 to 1 learning to the evolution of large franchise schools, we'll journey through personal tales and the strategic nuances that private training can bring—think stock trading, but with more arm bars and less risk of financial ruin.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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