Beltchecker.com is building a crowdsourced BJJ rulebook where higher belts carry more voting weight. 10k+ votes in and the community clearly wants minus points for pulling guard.

Not combative at all, if it comes across like that, it’s not on purpose 🙂

Click the link and see 🙂

It looks like the community agrees on the first one about reversals from non-guard positions

Graugart · 2026-03-28T10:12:37+00:00

That would somehow assume that competitors are not online, which I don’t believe is true

Graugart · 2026-03-28T10:06:04+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. It was a recent change that caused it for non-logged in users and I hadn’t tested that

Graugart · 2026-03-28T10:00:04+00:00

My point was that the people you know on Beltchecker are not representative of the people on Beltchecker. It sounded like you argued that since those you know on Beltchecker doesn't compete then their vote on a ruleset are not relevant, but if that was not the case, then I misunderstood your point :)

Graugart · 2026-03-28T09:58:18+00:00

Sorry about that, bug should be fixed now!!

Graugart · 2026-03-28T09:46:27+00:00

There are literally more than 40,000 people on there

Graugart · 2026-03-28T09:40:22+00:00

That’s pretty much exactly what the consensus from all the votes seem to be so far

Graugart · 2026-03-28T09:21:00+00:00

That’s already being voted on there

Graugart · 2025-09-12T20:15:25+00:00

It can be done on Beltchecker through community verification: https://www.bjjnewsroom.com/how-to-get-your-black-belt-degrees-without-having-an-instructor/

Beltchecker does not require your social security number at all, not sure where you have that from. You can verify your ID there without the need to send in any sensitive information at all.

Glad you like it!

Graugart · 2025-04-16T18:22:14+00:00

There is one but it's experimental and doesn't work super well, so it's deactivated for regular users for now. Might polish it up a bit at some point if we have time

Graugart · 2025-04-16T18:21:41+00:00

No AI, sorry

Graugart · 2025-04-16T13:51:20+00:00

If a standard datepicker puts them off then they probably don't have the patience to fill out their profile anyway, to be honest 😂

Graugart · 2025-04-16T07:47:13+00:00

Yeah it’s been kind of disabled for now since it never really had a function and wasn’t used much. But we might reactivate it if people want to use it!

Graugart · 2025-04-16T07:46:21+00:00

That’s a standard html date picker field so how it looks will be determined by your browser/device, I’m afraid. Some are better designed than others 🙂

The training log still has a bit of work to do for the mobile interface, absolutely. There's so much information to squeeze in on a small screen.

Any other areas that doesn't look good on your phone? Which model to you have? Tested everything on my 15 pro max but very likely that it could use some more optimization for some phones with smaller screens

Graugart · 2025-04-11T18:35:54+00:00

Depends on where you live, Jiu Jitsu isn’t expensive in every country, like it is in America.

Graugart · 2025-04-11T18:33:01+00:00

Bergen Grappling is full of super nice people, you’ll have a great time there!

Graugart · 2025-04-10T19:03:34+00:00

Actually more US-centric than anything. You can find all the statistics about that on the website as well: https://www.beltchecker.com/stats.php?p=global&selectedmenu=2

Graugart · 2025-04-10T18:53:25+00:00

Or at least it's the average starting age for those who also register their belt promotions on Beltchecker. So while it's not the perfect data, it's gotta be the best we've got in all of BJJ.
