He Signed Up His Son. Now the Whole Family Trains Jiu-Jitsu

From McHugh Jiu Jitsu - Mt. Laurel

October 22, 2026

Rob McCollum signed his son up for jiu-jitsu to get him into a sport. Then he realized the kid was going to start beating him… so he joined too.

Three and a half years later, the whole McCollum family trains at McHugh Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, including his wife (and yes, she wins). In this video Rob talks about what jiu-jitsu has taught his kids about discipline and hard work, why a sport that humbles you is so valuable, and his advice for anyone nervous to step on the mat:

“It’s going to suck at first. Endure that. That’s where the magic happens.”

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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