Together, Carlos and Royce remember Rolls not only as an extraordinary martial artist, but as a loving, charismatic leader who inspired the younger generation and brought people together.

Beyond the techniques, victories, and accomplishments, it's the relationships we build and the people we touch that create a lasting legacy.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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