On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss why BJJ is so addicting. We discuss the "trifecta" that addicts BJJ athletes and three additional reasons that keep you "Mat Addicts" coming back for more. We also discuss some ideas on why people quit BJJ.

The "BJJ Trifecta":

  • Learning/Feedback loop. - Stress Management. - Community and social aspect.
    Three byproducts of the "BJJ Trifecta":

  • Achieving "mindlessness" and "flow State." - Improved Fitness and lifestyle. - Feeling of accomplishment skill acquisition.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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