In this episode of Fighting Matters, Steve Kwan (BJJ Mental Models) is joined by Tim Lee Peterson for a candid conversation about the UFC’s growing alignment with far-right politics. They discuss how combat sports are being used as a cultural vehicle for political extremism, including the visible support of authoritarian figures and the platforming of openly fascist athletes. The discussion explores how these developments impact the broader martial arts community, the role of disinformation, and the danger of normalizing political violence and exclusionary ideologies in a sport that should be about inclusion, discipline, and mutual respect. 🎙️ Follow Steve: @bjjmentalmodels on Instagram and Threads 🎙️ Follow Tim: @timothyleepeterson on Instagram and Threads

Is Jiu-Jitsu just about choking people—or can it actually make the world better? In this episode of Fighting Matters, Steve Kwan (BJJ Mental Models), Jeff Shaw (Bellingham BJJ), Jesse Walker (Rough Hands BJJ), and Mike Mahaffey (Old Bastard BJJ) dive into how martial artists are stepping up to support their communities during turbulent times. From running charity seminars for LGBTQ+ and immigrant groups, to facing political backlash and online trolls, the crew lays it all out—with jokes, passion, and a bit of Moon Knight cosplay. 🌀 What does “conservatism” mean on the mats? 🔥 What happens when martial artists use their platforms to fight for more than just submissions? 🤝 How can YOU make a difference in your gym, even if you’re “just” a white belt?
