JIU JITSU NA TERCEIRA IDADE #jiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle  #bjj

Se você treina, vai entender e já marca ou envia esse vídeo pra alguém que também entende. Um senhor de 68 anos, faixa preta, finalizando um faixa azul com metade da idade. E não… isso não é força. Isso é a arte suave em sua forma mais pura, mostrando que a experiência de tatame supera a força e até mesmo o tempo. No tatame, ou você vence, ou você aprende. E o melhor é isso: mesmo finalizado, o aluno sai rindo, sentindo a leveza, a alegria e a endorfina que só o Jiu Jitsu proporciona. Quer viver essa sensação também? Venha treinar Jiu Jitsu. Agende sua aula experimental.

The idea of “keeping politics out” is no longer tenable, especially in Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts communities. Against the backdrop of escalating political violence, institutional breakdowns, and global instability, we explore the civic responsibility of gym owners, coaches, and athletes, and why silence increasingly amounts to complicity. 🔗 Links Mentioned: • Fighting Matters Linktree — [https://linktree.com/fightingmatters](https://linktree.com/fightingmatters) • Fighting Matters Substack — [https://fightingmatters.substack.com](https://fightingmatters.substack.com) • This Is Why We Fight (Jeff Shaw course) — [https://bjjmentalmodels.com/fight](https://bjjmentalmodels.com/fight) ⸻ 👥 Featuring: Steve Kwan — [https://bjjmentalmodels.com](https://bjjmentalmodels.com) Stephan Kesting — [https://www.grapplearts.com](https://www.grapplearts.com) Jeff Shaw — [https://bellinghambjj.com](https://bellinghambjj.com) ⸻ 🧠 Topics Discussed: • Why “keep politics out of Jiu-Jitsu” is a thought-terminating cliché • Political violence, accountability, and the role of video evidence • Fascism, despair, and overreaction as a martial arts analogy • Civic responsibility for gym owners and community leaders • Why neutrality increasingly favors the status quo ⸻ 📖 Chapters: 00:00 — Welcome & January 2026 reality check 04:40 — Political violence and media narratives 13:30 — Why apolitical stances are collapsing 24:00 — Global consequences and U.S. credibility 31:00 — “Keep politics out of Jiu-Jitsu” examined 45:10 — Martial arts, pressure, and overreaction 54:40 — What regular people can actually do 57:20 — Final thoughts and calls to action

#359 I Searched for HOT TAKES at a BJJ Tournament | Hot Takes Wanted Ep. 1

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.

Um faixa preta de 66 anos  #jiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #bjjlifestyle #bjj #podcast

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?

Aprender coisas novas te mantem jovem #jiujitsu #fabiogurgel #jiujitsulifestyle  #bjjlifestyle

Aprender coisas novas te mantém jovem Esse é um dos mantras do Fábio Gurgel — e um lembrete poderoso pra você que está começando ou pensando em treinar Jiu-Jitsu. Sair da zona de conforto, aprender algo do zero, ser desafiado… tudo isso é o que mantém sua mente afiada e seu corpo em evolução. Se você já domina a área onde atua, ótimo. Mas cuidado: é aí que muita gente estagna. Esse é o momento perfeito pra buscar algo novo, desafiador e transformador. Entre no tatame. Aprenda a se desafiar de novo. Rejuvenesça. Evolua. Porque quem para de aprender… começa a envelhecer por dentro. Procure a Alliance mais próxima de você e agende a sua primeira aula totalmente gratuita, e tire as suas próprias conclusões. #jiujitsu #fabiogurgel #jiujitsulifestyle #bjjlifestyle https://www.instagram.com/allianceamericano/ JIU JITSU em LAJEADO JIU JITSU COMO FERRAMENTA DE DESENVOLVIMENTO DE VIRTUDES.

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
