Description
Episode 319: Nose beers, steroids and Lady boys! Sounds like the Hang Over movie but as entertaining as the rockstar, influencer life appears- is this good for the culture of BJJ? Openly promoting steroid use to make money is questionable, some might say it's just honest and real. But is this the type of person you want teaching your kids BJJ class? In the rush to be entertaining and keep up with social media trends Jiu-Jitsu has more and more of it's top performers functioning as Rockstars more than role models which makes sense if you are trying to stay in the spotlight as long as possible.
