Chicks Get Serious Ft. Maggie Holmes

This week we bring on a special guest to talk about her experience with domestic violence at the hands of a black belt gym owner. Abuse is never okay, but in a sport where we learn to be better at violence and control, we need to make sure that this control is never used to harm vulnerable people. We need a culture in jiujitsu that weeds these predators out immediately, instead of one of silence and hesitation that allows abuses to continue. While people close by  are raising their eyebrows and whispering about inappropriate or abusive behavior occurring,  (often at the hands of instructors and gym owners), more people are irreparably damaged in a sport that was meant to help keep them safe. Enough is enough. Please listen to Maggie's story and do your part to keep jiujitsu safe for everyone.
