#359 I Searched for HOT TAKES at a BJJ Tournament | Hot Takes Wanted Ep. 1
from I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show · host Josh McKinney
Everyone Has a Hot Take about BJJ… So We Gave Them all a MicrophoneThis is the FIRST EVER episode of Hot Takes Wanted—and we didn’t hold back.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.I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Experience: https://kick.site/rxi0b3vo ($100 OFF with Promo Code "Fuji Expo")Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles, feat.
