One of Sarah's biggest frustrations?

From Gym 01 - Vitor Shaolin BJJ

One of Sarah's biggest frustrations?

She didn't feel our social media reflected the reality of Gym 01.

The welcoming atmosphere.
The supportive community.
The diversity of people who train here.

Instead, she felt that someone scrolling through our content might get a completely different impression of who we are and who belongs here.

That feedback stuck with us.

It's one of the reasons this series exists.

We're proud of the fighters, competitors, and achievements that come out of Gym 01, but they're only part of the story. The reality is that our community is made up of people from all walks of life, backgrounds, ages, abilities, and goals.

This series is our attempt to show more of that side of Gym 01.

To break the mould, do things a little differently, and give a voice to the people who make this place what it is.

This is just the beginning.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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