When Jiu Jitsu Becomes MORE than just Training | ATHLAS TRAINING TEAM

From Junior Fernandes BJJ

March 22, 2026

We're here at the Athlas Open Mat for Jiu Jitsu for Good, and I'm so excited to share this special event with you. Today we have six kids representing the Jiu Jitsu for Good project - they've been training for three months preparing for this event and getting ready for world championship competitions. We have gyms from all over coming together to support this amazing cause. Teams traveled from Naples, Coral Springs, and other areas to be part of this training day. This isn't about competition - it's about community, learning, exchanging information, and growing together while supporting kids in Brazil who are chasing their jiu jitsu dreams.

What makes this event so special is seeing how jiu jitsu brings people together for something bigger than ourselves. As you train and live this lifestyle, you start to see the benefits it brings not just to your own life, but to others around you. At some point, you have to decide: is this just for me, or can I use this for others too? I believe in giving back - anything that was good for me, it's my job to pay it forward. That's exactly what Jiu Jitsu for Good is about. We're not just training to win medals for ourselves; we're training to create opportunities for kids in Brazil who dream of competing at world championships. Professor Junior and the entire Atlas team opened their doors to host this open mat where everyone can train hard but smart - respecting limits, being good training partners, and spreading the word about how jiu jitsu changes lives.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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