Is a BJJ Match Actually a Fight? | BJJ Hot Takes

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.
