That Jiu Jitsu Podcast

Jiu Jitsu's least favorite troll is in some hot water, but it didn't have to be this way.
There was a time where Dillon Danis was a successful competitor and not a keyboard warrior.
He's definitely a disappointment. There are some other things that can be disappointing in jiu jitsu.
Let's look at a few of them.

We originally released this episode as a  bonus episode on our Patreon page. But with the current news in jiu jitsu about sexual predators and our goal of ousting them from the sport it seemed appropriate that we release this episode on this free feed for everyone to hear.

Lloyd Irivin is perhaps most famous for his alleged rape of a minor in 1989 and his odd "defense" of that incident.
This all come to light after two of his students raped a teammate of theirs on New Years Eve in 2013.
In this episode we are looking at Lloyd Irvin, his school and it's culture, and whether or not a coach is responsible for the behavior of their students.
Reminder that we are simply compiling readily-available information and giving our OPINION on the man and the events surrounding him.

How much did Cyborg Abreu and Vagner Rocha know and how far did they go to cover it up?
Let's look at all the evidence out there right now.

Every time the Olympics are on we wonder why there's no jiu jitsu.
Should bjj be in the Olympics? Why isn't it? Will it ever be?
We've got all of those answers plus a sure-fire fix to improve the Olympics immediately.

*We had a small issue with the sound quality due to Mike being away, won't be an issue in the future. Thanks for understanding and listening anyway.
