Self defense REQUIRES offense.

Yes blocking and escaping holds matter. But we have to take initiative as well.

Disrupting an attack and making the other person react to you is what creates opportunities to escape and shifts the predator/prey mentality.

That takes more than knowing a technique. And it takes coaches who understand the importance but also the limitations of a technique.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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