I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show

Today we’re diving headfirst into another round of spicy hot takes—where flow rolls turn violent, blue belts turn into prophets, and your coach is probably just winging it five minutes before class. From the culty undercurrents of mixing martial arts and religion to the shame of explaining why a teenager tapped you, this one pulls no punches and definitely won’t get us invited back to your gym.Whether you're a curriculum-free coach, a YouTube blue belt, or just someone still pretending flow rolling is real, this episode is here to make you laugh, think, and maybe delete a few Instagram posts. Strap in. It's wristlocks, wisdom, and weirdos—served hot and heretical, just how we like it.Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles (FREE)  BJJ Mental Models Kicksite FREE 30 Day TrialDatsusara 10% OFF with Promo Code “ISUCK”Master ANY Position in 6 WeeksJoin ⁠ISAJJ PRO (ALL of Josh’s Courses in One Place)Join the Gi GazetteFollow the show on⁠ Instagram⁠⁠Check out the ISAJJ Youtube Channel⁠
