Your progress in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn't just about how hard you train. It's also about who you train with!

In this video, Professor Matthew Jones, a black belt instructor at Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu in Frisco, Texas, explains three important qualities of a good training partner. Someone who stays focused during drills, helps you recognize and correct mistakes, and knows how to adjust their intensity when sparring.

Whether you're a white belt just starting out or an experienced practitioner, having the right training partners can make a big difference in how you learn, improve, and stay safe on the mats.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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