Why Your Work Family Matters More Than You Think πŸŽ₯ #shorts

From CMJJ Headquarters

September 6, 2026

We often realize too late that the people we work alongside become a second family, sometimes filling more of our time than the people at home. Reflecting on my early days in Dallas, I’m struck by the lasting bond I shared with Eric Norris. Even after twenty years apart, the connection felt instant when we reunited at a funeral. It’s a powerful reminder that professional relationships evolve into personal ones, carrying a weight and history that defines our lives long after the cameras stop rolling.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere β€” 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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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 β€” every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
