When looking for an BJJ academy it's important to know the credentials of the instructors and their lineage. Most reputable BJJ gyms can trace their lineage back to Mitsuyo Maeda which is a factor in stopping the proliferation of McDojos in the sport. Nico and Tim chat about the importance of tracing back your lineage to Maeda. Also, Orlando Open and Kids Pans updates.

Today we have the pleasure of sitting down with the biggest competitor of our show. Matt Gillette has earned over an incredible 30+ medals in IBJJF, including most recently winning Gold at Master North America. He is a first-degree black belt under Andre Maracaba in Arizona. Matt started BJJ because one of his friends in the Marine Corps came home and showed him some of the moves he learned in MCMAP (Marine Crop Martial Arts Program) and was hooked after being constantly submitted. One of the first attributes we noticed was his sense of humor when talking with Matt. He comes off very light-hearted and makes the whole interview much more effortless. Through Matthew's journey, he has developed firm opinions about specific topics. He is open with his distaste for point fighters, blue belts quitting, and McDojos. Some might find Matt a little rough around the edges because of his opinions, but those people are probably the ones who stop after getting their blue belts.

How can some people be so blinded by a cult? This episode is full of controversy and mystery. Due to all the death threats this man has received, we had to leave his name anonymous. So, we will utterly name this as the "McDojo" episode. A man passionate about martial arts and helping others did the heroic action of showing the darkest events lived in the martial arts schools, earning the hatred of people who see the world of martial arts as everything right and good in this life. An organization that, according to our guest, does not have a government body. That's why sexual violence, and pedophilia are some of the perversions frequently performed. ABOUT MCDOJO Rob has been training in martial arts for over 24 years and has dedicated the last 9 years of exposing Mcdojos. He Jason the international martial arts team Full Circle for years and ran his own martial arts school for 4 years. He has b been consulting for martial arts businesses for 10 years and he founded McDojoLife 9 years ago. He has earned - 3rd degree Black Belt in Karate - 3rd degree Black Belt in Lissajous-Do - Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu CONNECT WITH MCDOJO Instagram: @mcdojolife YouTube: McDojoLife WHAT YOU WILL HEAR [5:07] What's a McDojo [7:14] How one organization can ruin the lives of hundreds of people.

Rob is the founder of McDojo Life, broadcaster and a martial arts veteran with over 22 years experience across multiple disciplines. "Keeping Martial Arts Legit" Today, Konner and Rob chat the motivations behind McDojos, ranging from the thought process of the perpetrator themselves, to the cult like mentality that their followers seem to attain.

Lastly, the guys talk about the beauty of martial arts, what it can do for a person mentally, physically, spiritually, and how we can best teach and inform those who are interested in a journey within the world of self defence and combat disciplines.

McDojos, and all that they mean to the martial arts community, are the topic of conversation today on our first-ever group chat. Group Chat: McDojos - Episode 119 Today's episode is a bit different - it's our first group conversation. A few weeks ago, we were approached by Sensei Robert Ingram. Sensei Ingram is the man behind the McDojo Life brand. McDojo Life is a martial arts entertainment group that brings you humorous martial arts content. Most of their content is published through social media. McDojo Life has quite a large following, and for good reason - their stuff is funny! We also brought back a past guest, whistlekick's good friend & host of the Martial Thoughts podcast, Sensei Jaredd Wilson. Jeremy joins the two of them to discuss McDojos, integrity in martial arts instruction and instructors and a lot more. For those unfamiliar with the term, a McDojo is a derogatory term that refers to a martial arts school that doesn't live up to the standards others set. It's completely subjective, and we discuss that as part of the show. We had a great conversation and all three of us enjoyed the time together. If you like this format, please let us know and we'll look at doing more of them. Thanks for listening and have an amazing day! During the episode, we talked about Episode 69, our episode where we talk about martial arts instructors & integrity. On today's episode, we reference the Redneck Jiu Jitsu YouTube Channel For More Information on Sensei Ingram and McDojo Life You can find McDojo Life on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook & Twitter. Soon, the website McDojoLife.com will be active. For More Information on Sensei Jaredd Wilson and Martial Thoughts You can find Sensei Jaredd Wilson on Episode 76, his previous podcast appearance.
