Whats up guys? I am probably an oddity here...I have only trained under one coach/professor. I started training with him when he was a Purple belt and I have trained with/under him for the past 5-6yrs now. I help coach our childrens program and our adult Fundamentals program. I try to compete once or twice a year but injuries and the Covid nonsense has limited my ability to compete as of late.
I am excited to see this platform grow and help to benefit our community through its existence.

Hello,
My name is Draven X. Byrne and I recently earned my Blue Belt after approximately 5 years of training. I started when I was 12 years old, so BJJ has been a part of my life for quite a bit now. It's really helped me become more mature, helped me lose over 75 pounds of weight and just in general made me much more self-confident.
My Dad (John Byrne) is on this site as well, and as well trains and helps coach me. I'm excited to be here and meet folks and learn lots of new stuff.

Hey everyone my name is Johnathan Barrow (John). I am a purple belt and the current owner/head coach of Whiteman AFB BJJ where I started back in 2014 under my black belt(who was then a month away from brown belt) Marvin "Moe" Morris. We were under Gracie Barra until the death of our original black belt Brian Davis in 2016 after which we went under one of Brian's original students Dave Rosenmarkle who heads up Veneration Jiu-Jitsu.
Being in the military the club inevitably changes hands when people move and I inherited the school from Moe back in 2018 when he moved to England. It was definitely a trial by fire to keep everything going that first year but we made it work thankfully and were still able to train and compete the years following that until covid.
Covid officially ended us since our gym was taken away by base policy. We have since been exiled in my garage (its 100% a gym now just alot smaller) where thankfully we have been able to continue training. Ironically enough we have all been making more progress in these last few months than i feel we had in the months prior. I think it must be something about the no A/C or heating

Hi everyone,
My name is Benoit and I live and train in Dunedin, New Zealand. I’m originally from Belgium but moved to New Zealand in 2003.
I started jiu jitsu in 2006 (at 29 years old) at Dunedin BJJ (now known as myBJJ Dunedin), a club affiliated with Mario Yokoyama’s myBJJ association (formerly Gracie Oceania) from Sydney, Australia. Until 2017, most of my training in Dunedin was under Stuart Marks and Philip Lindsay, 2 long time black belts of Mario. From 2015, I also started travelling frequently to Southern California for work and jiu jitsu, including spending a few weeks several times a year training at Studio 540 in San Diego. In 2017, I left myBJJ as, together with around 25 other practitioners from various local gyms, we created Submission Lab, a new non-profit unaffiliated jiu jitsu club, and joined BJJ Globetrotters. I got promoted to black belt by Jeff Higgs at Studio 540 in August 2017.
With regard to competitive jiu jitsu, I have a very average competition record of 49 wins, 43 losses and 1 draw, from local and international tournaments, in a mix of adult (local events mostly) and master (international events mostly) divisions. In particular, I have competed at the World Master IBJJF 5 times (once as a purple belt and four times as a brown belt), getting a lone bronze medal in 2017 in a reasonably large (~30 competitors) master 3 division. I have also competed at the World No Gi IBJJF twice (once as a brown belt and once as a black belt, in master divisions obviously). In addition, I have a pretty underwhelming 1-3-0 MMA record from 2011-2012.
Currently, I am teaching jiu jitsu classes at Submission Lab and at the Otago Fight Centre/Hammerhead MMA. I also wrestle infrequently at the Combat Sports wrestling school, under my awesome wrestling coach Caleb Steven.
In my day job, I am a statistician. If that’s of interest, I would be very happy to help compile or analyse some of beltchecker’s data (now, I’m personally interested in the expected time to get verified…) as I don’t often have the opportunity to look at large amounts of jiu jitsu related data. The last time was a while ago when I helped Matt Kirtley (Aesopian) analyse his 2011 BJJ gi survey. The survey got quite a bit of publicity at the time and it was quite fun to work on.
Thanks for reading. The picture is from last night’s class.

Hello Everyone,
Im Phillip and Im a Blackbelt under Master Carlos Machado. Been training for 14 years and Jiu Jitsu is my Full time Job. Hoping to meet some amazing people here.
I started my Journey in 2006 after Owning a Kenpo school for a few years. I fell in Love Immediately. Got my Belt in 2007, and trained pretty regularly. Then in 2009 my Mother got Terminally ill and I had to Move to take care of her. I Joined a Gracie Barra School in town and trained for the Next 2 years until I moved back Home. I got my Purple belt the Very last day of 2011. I started teaching Jiu Jitsu as a Purple and got my Brown August of 2016. I got all the way to 4 stripe brown when I needed to change Academies. I humbly pulled my stripes off and started over at Brown. On Oct 10th of this year, Master Carlos Machado awarded me my Black Belt.
I teach and Train full time, its the Best Job in the World

Hi guys, I stumbled upon this website the other week while looking up a FAQ for my IBJJF Black Belt Certificate + 1st Degree Pricing. Happy to have found it and signed up, a brief introduction below.
I'm a BB under Rodrigo Medeiros, received December 2018. I started BJJ in 2007 at the world famous Beverly Hills Jiu Jitsu Club under Marcus Vinicius (6th Degree Black Belt & Judo Black Belt under Red Belt Francisco Mansur) while studying at the University of Southern California where I graduated with a degree in Economics and Film. I studied under Marcus until 2015 when I had to move to Hong Kong to further my career in film + entertainment, he gave me my Brown Belt before I left.
I've been in HK for 5 years, and in addition to my full-time career, I am part of a group (http://www.shbjjhk.com / http://www.defgroup.co/) that is growing BJJ for Hong Kong and China. I teach a Women's Introduction Program, focusing on Gracie-based self-defense in No-Gi/Gi, as well as teach an All-Levels No-Gi for Men+Women. I train/teach BJJ 3x a week. In addition to BJJ, I am also an American Council on Exercise Certified Trainer (# N790786) and am CPR Certified.
More of my BJJ related work with my students and training partners can be seen at @harry.hkg.pt on IG. Looking forward to connecting more people from Asia onto this site, thanks.

I started at BHJJC in 1999 or so. That place was really amazing. Literally, every other guy you rolled with was a professional fighter or wrestled for USA wrestling or a god (black belt). Too bad I injured my back a few months into starting my BJJ journey. Marcus was a really good dude.

Hello everyone I’m new to this site. My name is Tony Morales, I’ve been training BJJ since 1999. I began my training at Aliance BJJ in New York with Roni Cardoso where I received my blue bel. When he passed away I continued my BJJ training in jungle gym Bronx NY. I was the head kids coach for over 6 years. Ended up moving so I continued my training at animals MMA. It took me a total of 15 years to receive my black belt. I’ve competed in NAGA, grapplers quest, NY Open, and many others it’s been an amazing journey. Looking forward to the next 15+ years of training. Ous!

Hi all,
New black belt, new profile.
I'm 41yo,
Started BJJ at 28yo.
Like many Israelis I'm a veteren IDF soldier.
my 2 first years of BJJ were a struggle. A real emotional ride everytime. Sometimes I would get dressed, pick the bag up and stand there trying to reach the door handle and get out. and eventually give up.
Those 2 years helped me realise I suffer from Combat PTSD and start dealing with it - BJJ is a powerful mirror that shows you who you are, no bullshit is possible.
Almost 13 years later, BJJ is a huge emotional resource for me, turning anxiety into joy through flow.
My black belt is to me my most distiguished accomplishment in life thus far.
A symbol of survival, determination, perseverance, technical acumen and pride.
Without BJJ I doubt I would have a family, positive self esteem and dignity.
Glad to be here with you

Good evening from the Pacific North West. I grew up boxing and later got into Muy Thai and MMA. I am a brown belt and have been training jiujitsu in the kimono for about six years. I travel a lot for work and always pack a gi. When the schedule allows I train seven days a week often times twice a day. In this current lockdown situation I get it in when I can. I have competed in japan, South Korea, Philippines, and in the US. I have also trained in several other countries. The mat language is universal And jiujitsu is my medicine. This is my hobby for life.

Nice to meet you all! I found this site after reading The BJJ Globetrotter - what an awesome book.
My name is Will. I started BJJ about 5 years ago and was just recently promoted to purple belt. I train mainly at GB Vancouver and enjoy being able to train at the network of GB gyms in the Vancouver region. I also drop in at an excellent (and slightly underground) gym called From the Hills BJJ Vancouver.
Over the last 5 years my training partners have become some of my best friends. And earlier this year my gf got curious and decided to try it out. She's now a 3-stripe white belt and well on her way to whooping my ass. (See below.)
I'm looking forward to becoming more connected to the BJJ community, both globally and in the Vancouver/pacific northwest area.
Best,
Will

Hey! I'm Kristine. I'm a three stripe blue belt from Louisiana. My husband and kids started training first. Took me two years to get sucked in and join the journey with them. Wish I had started sooner.
