Kids today have a lot competing for their attention.

Screens, games, endless content. It’s everywhere, and it’s not going away.

Getting a child to commit to something physical, to show up week after week and work for something they can earn. That’s not easy. But when it clicks, it’s something special to watch.

Doesn’t have to be jiu-jitsu. Could be any sport. Just get them moving, get them working towards something. The confidence that comes with it is incredible.

Every one of these kids showed up week after week, trained hard, and earned their new stripe or belt. Fair play to them. They deserve it.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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