The Explosion That Changed His Life Forever...

The Explosion That Changed His Life Forever...

From CMJJ Headquarters

July 23, 2026

Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's what you choose to do after fear shows up. ☕

The first explosion changed everything.

In that moment, he had a choice: step back... or step forward.

"No one would know if I walked away... but I would."

Real character isn't built by what other people think. It's built by the promises you keep to yourself. And in the end, the legacy that matters most is the one your children see.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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