Interviews

This week, we're joined by Andrew Green! Andrew is the creator of the Kids Jiu-Jitsu Playbook and a 25-year veteran of martial arts coaching. In this episode, Andrew teaches what truly makes a great kids coach: understanding developmental stages, emotional regulation, building culture, motivating engagement, working effectively with parents, why kids can’t be coached like "mini adults," how life skills outweigh medals, and what gyms can do to create safer, more sustainable, and more impactful youth programs.

Everyone Has a Hot Take about BJJ… So We Gave Them all a Microphone This is the FIRST EVER episode of Hot Takes Wanted—and we didn’t hold back. I(@thejoshmckinney) grabbed as many people as possible and let them unload their most unfiltered jiu-jitsu opinions. No scripts. No safety nets. Just raw takes from the mats. Guard pulling? Gi vs No-Gi? Wrestling elitism? American Jiu-Jitsu? Barefoot tournament savages?? Yeah… it all came up. Some people think you can’t complain about guard pulling if you can’t pass a guard. Others say you shouldn’t guard pull if you can’t wrestle. Some swear No-Gi isn’t even Jiu-Jitsu—it’s just submission wrestling. Others say if you don’t train in the gi, you’re missing the point entirely. Then things got weird (in the best way). We got takes on: -Boxers vs Jiu-Jitsu in real fights -Why belt promotions are broken (or perfect) -Why American Jiu-Jitsu is its own thing -Why your toes should get stomped on if you walk barefoot at tournaments -And even why the infamous “r*pe choke” should be renamed Some takes are smart. Some are spicy. Some will absolutely make you mad. And that’s the point. 👇 Jump in the comments: Which take was the WORST? Which one was 100% correct? And what hot take should we put on blast in the next episode? This is jiu-jitsu culture—unfiltered.

Mother, poet, and US citizen Renée Good was shot by ICE on January 7, closely followed by the shooting of ICU Nurse and US citizen Alex Pretti on January 24th, apparently by members of the Border Patrol. Both Renée and Alex were immediately denounced as "domestic terrorists" by the US administration and an army of bots has been circulating a deluge of easily debunkable falsehood about the two victims. In this episode of Fighting Matters BJJ black belt Stephan Kesting is joined Tyson Larone, the Warrior Philosopher, to explore why this is all happening, who benefits from this, where is it likely to go, and how does it potentially end. We turn over every rock from the Epstein Files to suppressing the midterm elections to World War III. Follow Tyson on TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarriorphilosopher](https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarriorphilosopher) and on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thewarriorphilosopherig](https://www.instagram.com/thewarriorphilosopherig) And please share this episode with someone it would help.

Conhece alguém que não treina Jiu Jitsu por “medo de se machucar”? Manda esse vídeo. Um faixa preta de 66 anos, com platina na perna, disse tudo: “No tatame, dou os três tapinhas e tá tudo certo. Levanta e volta.” Desculpa não protege ninguém disciplina protege. Medo não te fortalece o Jiu Jitsu fortalece. Marca o amigo que vive arrumando desculpa. E comenta: qual limitação você tem… e mesmo assim treina?

Racism, extremism, and exclusion aren’t abstract problems in martial arts. They show up in real gyms, affect real people, and shape who feels safe on the mats. In this episode of Fighting Matters, hosts Mike Mahaffey and Jesse Walker are joined by Deon Thompson and Stephen Hall for a candid, deeply personal conversation about how racism and hate groups intersect with Jiu-Jitsu culture, why “staying neutral” is not an option, and what responsibility coaches carry when they teach people how to fight. ⸻ 🔗 Links Mentioned: • Fighting Matters Linktree — [https://linktr.ee/fightingmatters](https://linktr.ee/fightingmatters) • Ohio Brasa Jiu-Jitsu (Deon Thompson) — [https://ohiobrasajiujitsu.com](https://ohiobrasajiujitsu.com) • Bioniq Brass Band (Stephan Hall) — [https://www.instagram.com/bioniqbrassband](https://www.instagram.com/bioniqbrassband) ⸻ 👥 Featuring: • Mike Mahaffey — @oldbastardbjj • Jesse Walker — @roughhandsbjj • Deon Thompson — @thompsonjiujitsu • Stephen Hall — @bioniqbrassband ⸻ 🧠 Topics Discussed: • Racism and extremism in Jiu-Jitsu gyms • Why this isn’t “just politics” • Gym culture and accountability • Belt promotions as endorsements of character • Representation, safety, and who feels welcome • Why silence enables harm • The ethical responsibility of coaches ⸻ 📖 Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 02:10 – Why racism in Jiu-Jitsu can’t be ignored 08:30 – Extremist groups and combat sports 16:45 – Gym culture and leadership responsibility 25:10 – Promotions, character, and accountability 34:40 – Representation and who feels safe on the mats 45:20 – Why neutrality enables harm 57:30 – What coaches must be willing to confront 1:08:00 – Final thoughts and closing remarks

What does it actually take to become unbreakable in jiu-jitsu — mentally, physically, and over an entire career? I(@thejoshmckinney) recorded this conversation live at the Fuji BJJ Expo with Victor Hugo (victorhugojj), right in the middle of a tournament atmosphere, with matches happening, crowds moving, and pressure everywhere. No studio. No edits. Just a real, unfiltered conversation with one of the most dominant and respected competitors of this generation. Victor Hugo doesn’t talk about techniques here. He talks about how he lives his life and how it applies to jiu-jitsu. In this live interview, Victor breaks down: - Why flow matters more than force at the highest level - How he trains without burning out or getting stuck - What actually goes through his head before world championship finals - How early losses shaped him instead of breaking him - Why adaptability beats having “one best move” - How he stays calm when everything is on the line - And what most athletes get wrong about longevity, pressure, and winning This was filmed tableside at Fuji BJJ Expo, during a live tournament weekend — the noise, the distractions, the energy — and Victor stayed exactly who he is: calm, thoughtful, and intentional. If you’ve ever: - Felt stuck in your training - Burned out chasing results - Struggled with pressure in competition - Or wondered how elite athletes stay composed while everyone else panics This conversation will change how you think about jiu-jitsu.This isn’t hype.This is Big Man Flow — explained by the man who lives it.
