Is Jiu-Jitsu just about choking people—or can it actually make the world better?
In this episode of Fighting Matters, Steve Kwan (BJJ Mental Models), Jeff Shaw (Bellingham BJJ), Jesse Walker (Rough Hands BJJ), and Mike Mahaffey (Old Bastard BJJ) dive into how martial artists are stepping up to support their communities during turbulent times. From running charity seminars for LGBTQ+ and immigrant groups, to facing political backlash and online trolls, the crew lays it all out—with jokes, passion, and a bit of Moon Knight cosplay.
šŸŒ€ What does ā€œconservatismā€ mean on the mats?
šŸ”„ What happens when martial artists use their platforms to fight for more than just submissions?
šŸ¤ How can YOU make a difference in your gym, even if you’re ā€œjustā€ a white belt?
Drop a comment with your own stories or ideas. Let’s build something better—together.
