Join the Cult.
Free Kool-Aid.
Jiu Jitsu for the heretics,
the punks, the post-believers.
No gods. No masters.
Only the mat.

Not All Traditions Deserve Respect.
Cult Grappling was born from the cracks in the mat…

The Chain of Breath
a rotating sermon of gym gossip, anti-technique, bad advice, cult doctrine, and occasional truth.
Sometimes we write to expose the system.

Bullshido – Jiu-Jitsu and the Paradox of Tolerance
This article from Bullshido dives into a tough but important idea: if we tolerate everything—including intolerance—we risk losing the kind of respectful, inclusive culture most of us want in jiu-jitsu.

Bloodlines and Betrayal: The Rotten Roots of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
“Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was not born from pure struggle. It was forged through loyalty to dictators, the erasure of other traditions, and the worship of bloodlines. The mat remembers the lies you were taught to forget.”
Teh Squad
Behind every great cult is a squad of totally qualified, not-at-all suspicious individuals guiding the way.
Meet our leadership: part grappling instructors, part messianic visionaries, full-time vibes managers.
They’ve read The Art of War, The Secret, and the back of a creatine tub.
