Why These Black Belts Quit Carlos Machado’s Academy…

Black belts actually QUIT when Carlos Machado introduced bowing at his Jiu-Jitsu academy. 😳🥋

In Episode 31 of Coffee Time with Carlos Machado, Carlos and Lindsay Machado look back at a period when seemingly small changes created some surprisingly big reactions.

But Lindsay explains that the conflict wasn’t really just about bowing.

It reflected a larger shift in academy culture—setting expectations, addressing entitlement, and changing behaviors that had been accepted for years.

And when Lindsay started enforcing those boundaries?

She became “enemy of the state number one.” 😂

Sometimes changing a culture means being willing to deal with resistance along the way.

☕ Episode 31 with Lindsay Machado is OUT NOW!
