Patreon: https://patreon.com/UnknownPressures | A bombshell rocked the jiu-jitsu world this week when one of the top coaches in the sport was arrested following serious allegations made by multiple female students. Police in Brazil have Melqui Galvao, father of Mica, in custody while the jiu-jitsu world witnesses another prominent name fall from grace.  In this episode, we summarize the facts known at this time: that Melqui Galvao has been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into crimes that include sexual act involving a minor under 14 years of age, threats and intimidation, and more. We talk about the known facts this time and ask important questions, including: Will Melqui face justice for these alleged crimes? How will this affect the careers of Mica Galvao, Diogo Reis and others? What steps can the jiu-jitsu community take to make sure things like this stop happening?
