🌏 One of our favorite things about the Asian Championship is discovering the next generation of talent from across the continent.

Last year, Jun Yong Cho of South Korea πŸ‡°πŸ‡· delivered a stellar performance, capturing black belt featherweight gold with an impressive half-guard game that stood out throughout the tournament.

We can't wait to see which athletes make their breakthrough at this year's event.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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