I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show

Does being a BJJ black belt make you a good person? Absolutely not.
Jiu-jitsu is full of fake respect, fragile egos, and people who think being good on the mats makes them worth looking up to. But what actually makes someone deserving of respect?
In this episode, Josh McKinney breaks down the divide between old-school and new-school jiu-jitsu, how to recognize toxic gym culture, and why the people you train with matter more than the belt around their waist.
Learn how to build better relationships, avoid bad training environments, and surround yourself with people who will actually make you better at jiu-jitsu.
Because getting better at jiu-jitsu shouldn't come at the cost of becoming a worse person.
