WORST BJJ Hot Takes of 2025

What SHOULD BE Jiu-Jitsu's Belt Criteria? In this solo scorcher, Josh McKinney unloads his 25 spiciest Jiu-Jitsu hot takes — the kind that make you question your training, your teammates… and maybe even your whole gym. From why your cardio sucks (hint: it’s not your lungs, it’s your brain), to why you should have to compete to get promoted, this is a firestorm of uncomfortable hot takes, hard-earned insights, and full-on Dawg Pound gospel. No belt is safe. No habit goes unchecked. If you train BJJ and haven’t heard this list… you’re training blind. Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles, feat.
