Zach joins the podcast to discuss his start in Jiu-Jitsu and initially learning Jiu-Jitsu from the Gracie Combatives videos, his constant travels and training across the country, and "Red Flags" and "Green Flags" to pay attention to when dropping into a gym, how he developed his unique BJJ game, weird gym experiences, advice for dropping into a gym, his thoughts on drop in fees, and the worst gym Zach has ever visited.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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