Do you focus on mastering Techniques or understanding Concepts? A lot of early learning in BJJ is shaped and guided by the Instructor but at some point you will do your best to try to get better independently. Which is better to focus on- the technical details of a submission or the reason why it is applicable in the situation? The "How" & the 'Why" are both important components of mastering BJJ but where should you start? JT & Joey discuss how approaching the game from 2 very different angles can work, while also going deeper on the interplay between them and how this can unlock a new level of Jiu-Jitsu for you.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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