    Season 2 Episode 4: Allegations in Jiu-Jitsu & When People Used to Walk In and Challenge the Gym

    Episode Description: In this episode of Kings of Kimuras, we discuss a serious and important topic currently affecting the Jiu-Jitsu community — the recent allegations of sexual misconduct involving prominent figures and teams in the sport. We talk about the responsibility instructors carry, the importance of protecting students, and the culture that academies must build to ensure a safe training environment for everyone. We also shift gears and talk about the early days of training, when it wasn’t uncommon for people to walk into academies and challenge instructors on the spot. We share stories from those times, how gym culture has evolved, and how respect, professionalism, and structure have changed Jiu-Jitsu for the better. This episode is both a reflection on where the community stands today and a look back at where it came from. In this episode, we cover: • The recent misconduct allegations and their impact on the Jiu-Jitsu community • The responsibility of academy owners and instructors • Creating a safe and professional training environment • Stories from the early days of open challenges in academies • How gym culture has evolved over the years • Why leadership and accountability matter more than ever About Kings of Kimuras: Kings of Kimuras is a podcast hosted by black belt instructors from Corvo Martial Arts, where we discuss Jiu-Jitsu, competition, gym culture, and the realities of life on and off the mat.
