Everyone Has a Hot Take about BJJ… So We Gave Them all a Microphone
This 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.
