On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the evolution of Jiu-Jitsu from strictly a self-defense martial art to a sport and whether this growth from the original intent and style of Jiu-Jitsu has "mutilated" the art.
We also discuss the history of BJJ, if Chewy thinks BJJ should be an Olympic sport, and what would happen if BJJ stopped evolving.
