Are You in a Jiu-Jitsu Cult?

I’ve wanted to talk with Matt Kirtley for a LONG time because of his BJJ background, but it just so happens that he’s done a ton of research into cults and cult-like practices, so we went off in some pretty interesting directions in this one!

Some of what we talked about in episode 310 of The Strenuous Life Podcast includes…

  • Red flags that you might be in a jiu-jitsu cult
  • Changes to jiu-jitsu culture,
  • Crazy martial arts cults,
  • Channeling of ancient spirits,
  • How we can get more out of drilling,
  • And much more

More About Matt Kirtley

Matt’s a jiu-jitsu black  belt who has been heavily involved in online jiu-jitsu culture for 15 years.   He writes extensively at Inverted Gear, has helped answer hundreds of BJJ questions for White Belt Wednesdays, and is a Functional Range Conditioning coach.

I met him ages ago when he published step-by-step breakdowns for the reverse omoplata and the rolling crucifix attack on a forum which I then republished (with permission) on Grapplearts. He’s definitely good people!
