Jiu-jitsu is built on trust — but what happens when that trust is abused?

In this episode of The Gi Spot, we take a serious and necessary look at grooming in sports and gym environments, including both minors and adults.

We explore how power, authority, and close-knit communities can sometimes be misused — and why it’s not always obvious when boundaries are being crossed.

This conversation isn’t about panic — it’s about awareness, responsibility, and creating safer training environments for everyone.

Because a strong gym culture isn’t just about technique or toughness.
It’s about respect that never crosses the line.
