About this listen

This episode gets spicy.

We start with some controversial BJJ hot takes, including a heated (and hilarious) debate over whether a BJJ match is actually a fight.

We also discuss some other hot takes like:

  • Most people training BJJ would lose a real fight
  • The gym scoreboard isn’t real
  • And blue belts are the most dangerous people in the gym


Then we debut a new segment:

Points, Penalty, or DQ.

We judge some of the most debated behaviors in jiu-jitsu culture, including:

  • Coaching your partner mid-roll
  • Starting rounds on your knees
  • Celebrating when you tap a higher belt
  • Posting podium pictures from a one-person bracket
  • Wearing your medal out to dinner after a tournament
  • Parents coaching over the athlete’s actual coach

Some deserve points.

Some deserve penalties.

And a few might be an automatic DQ.
