Welcome to the Jiu Jitsu Dummies Podcast, presented by Black Belt Digital Marketing and AcademySafe.org

On this episode of the Jiu Jitsu Dummies Podcast, Black Belts Milton Campis and Ben Stark sit down for a real conversation about some tough topics in the Jiu-Jitsu community. We talk about dating at your academy, background checks for coaches and academy owners, and the Melqui Galvão incident involving his arrest in Brazil. This one is all about boundaries, accountability, and keeping Jiu-Jitsu academies safe for everyone.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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