From I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show

Welcome to another hilarious episode of "I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show" hosted by Josh Mckinney(@thejoshmckinney), pretty much the most controversial man in BJJ! In this episode, Josh spills the beans on how he beat a former (no gi) world champion at the Nashville Open.

The former world champ then tried to start a fight with Josh(seriously, we can't make this crap up)

But, instead of resorting to violence, Josh and his friends defuse the situation with kindness and a prayer huddle... okay, that last part isn't totally true. Tune in to find out how Josh and the rest of the misfits handled this sticky situation.

In addition to this crazy story, Josh also answers some Q&A's. He shares his experiences with racism at a restaurant, talks about changes he's made to his training this year, and even throws around the idea of trying every drug ever and training! Disclaimer: We do not recommend trying this at home, kids. there is a lot of sarcasm in this description and this episode.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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