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.
