The Jiu Jitsu Community is Falling Apart. Here's what we can do.
Is Jiu-Jitsu really a community—or just a bunch of cliques in gis pretending to be one?
In this episode, Josh rants on the myth of unity in BJJ, calls out the gatekeepers, and makes a case for a more creative, open, and fun future for the art we all love.
You’ll hear why the idea of “real Jiu-Jitsu” is holding us back, how the culture is becoming more rigid, and what we can do to keep Jiu-Jitsu weird, inclusive, and worth showing up for.
