The site also offers a “Digital Download Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Positions and Submissions” reference. The content covers general BJJ information, technique guides, training help, and equipment guides.

Where it sits in the data
HeavyBJJ's $1K a month is higher than 40% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, the buyer would be someone interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, including beginners and people considering starting jiu jitsu. Demand would come from people looking for training information, technique references, equipment guidance, and BJJ-themed products.
Distribution would need to include an audience relationship, search traffic, social channels, and online marketplaces. The difficult parts are creating trustworthy material, keeping product and support work manageable, handling customer questions, and competing with other BJJ information and product sellers.
Verdict: Easy to start.
One thing to take from it
The clearest takeaway is that HeavyBJJ pairs educational BJJ content with a small product range and several online distribution channels. The site explicitly connects beginner information, technique help, gear reviews, digital references, and BJJ-themed goods.
