Coming out of the BJJ closet

I have heard that they now have de-BJJ-ing camps run by Shaoli-Do instructors...

Well, I´ve heard of places they give BJJ'res medical treatment to "cure" them.

They´re called "_ing _un academies".

Or was it the other way around? I can´t tell.

That´s because you´re so dedicated to the spreading of the BJJ Agenda.

BJJ, when practiced safely, doesn't spread more "agenda" than other MAs.

There is no such thing as 100% safe BJJ, even when you put your gi on. And most people like it no-gi and sooner or later are going to go a it no gi with a stranger in the mat.

Aye, matworm risk´s factor is high between the BJJ colective and those who engage in unprotected grappling.

I agree. I have always encouraged education and free access to high quality gis in accessible places like supermarkets, convenience stores and vending machines. But I'm always met with a fierce opposition from those that think that the only way to avoid the risk is abstinence.

BJJ isn't the only game in town, boys.

Those who advocate abstinence in reality are only projecting their insecurities on others. Usually it's because they are too ugly or socially incompetent to get some grappling. Lonely nights go by while these individuals salivate looking at pictures and diagrams in TMA magazines.

But every once in a while, they in fact have some grappling buddy with whom to grapple furtively, usually without the gi. Once the deed is done, the abstentionist go back home and immediately takes a shower to feel clean. Last but not least, he/she goes into a bout of depression and self-blame, put on some pajamas, and squares into a kung-fu-like stance while reciting purification mantras as illustrated below:

Besides, you can advocate free access to high quality gi for everyone, but at the end of the day, grapplers like to do it no gi. It doesn't feel the same with one on.
