Would you sell everything you own to chase a dream? πŸŒŽβ˜•

Sometimes the biggest decisions in life start with two words: β€œLet’s go!”

On this episode of Coffee Time with Carlos Machado, Lui Monforte shares what it was like to leave everything behind, move to a new country, and start over with just a few suitcases, a cat, and a whole lot of determination. 🧳🐈

I could relate. When I left Brazil for America, I had no idea how big that decision would become.

The truth is, you don't always realize the magnitude of a life-changing decision until you look back.

Sometimes courage isn't having all the answers. It's taking that first step anyway.

β˜• Would you take that leap of faith? Tell us in the comments!

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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