EP 21. Cult of Personality in BJJ

In this episode Dre and Alex debate the topic of personalities in BJJ and whether it is a good or bad thing. It goes without saying that the BJJ as a sport is evolving at an extremely rapid pace. Within the growth of the sport we have also seen the rise of the cult of personality with social media so it was just a matter of time until the two clashed in what we are now seeing in BJJ with different personalities.
Hightlights -
- Does this taint the sport or is it a good thing?
- Is BJJ going to turn into the WWE for big events where personalities dominate?
- What is the message we are sending to others in the sport - are they going to put on a personality so they get more views in an attempt to rise to prominence or will their skills be what gets them to the top?
- Would you want your kids looking up to or emulating the current BJJ professionals?
