Jimmy called himself “the stinky guy” when he started 😅
And now we’re laughing about it.

That’s kind of how it goes.
Everyone has that version of themselves in the beginning.
You’re just trying to survive, figure things out.

Then one day… it’s just a story you tell. 🤷♂️

We had a good laugh about that in this episode!

If you’ve been through that phase, you’ll get this. If you’re in it right now… you’ll get there too. Go check out the full episode.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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