On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss why BJJ should not be an Olympic Sport.
We discuss both pros and cons of Jiu-Jitsu in the Olympics, how the Olympic Judo rulesets have influenced the sport, why BJJ being in the Olympics will decrease the evolution of BJJ, how the variety in BJJ helps growth, the difference between amateur and professional athletes, what will help to continue to grow Jiu-Jitsu, the importance of the lifestyle element to Jiu-Jitsu 31, and why decreased regulations allow for more tournaments.

0:00.0 | What up, guys. Welcome to the Jiu-Sitoo podcast. Today we're going to talk about an idea. |
0:04.2 | For some of you guys that had my, they get my email letter, then you kind of have a pre-frame for this thing. |
0:10.0 | But we're going to talk about my case for why I do not want Jiu-Jitsu to be an Olympic sport because I've been asked the question. |
0:17.0 | It's one of the more common questions I've gotten over the last 10 years since I started doing YouTube videos. And over the years, people have asked, hey, Chooey, do you think that Jiu-Itsu, |
0:24.8 | do you want it to be an Olympic sport? And my answer to that question is always a big, bearded, |
0:30.8 | emphatic, unequivocal, just throwing out words now. Hell no, Hell no. I don't want it to be an Olympic sport. |
0:41.8 | And I have very specific reasons as to why. And I think that if it became an Olympic sport, |
0:46.7 | a lot of what we like about jihitsu as far as competitions and even the way that we practice would change dramatically and maybe not for the better. And again, now this is my own bearded |
0:52.0 | philosophy, my own bearded opinion. So you take this and chew on it. But again, I think that I make a fairly decent case on some |
0:57.8 | of these in some aspects to this. And you can listen to it and see what you think. |
1:02.1 | Big thanks to our sponsors for helping make the podcast happen. Charlotte's Web, CBD. If you guys |
1:06.3 | have never tried CBD or if you've never tried Charlott Web CBD, it's worth checking out. Again, I use Charlotte's Webb towards the end of the evening. Um, it's part of my sort of nighttime |
1:14.3 | wind down routine. For me, I don't know about you guys, I get really sort of dialed in with my |
1:19.4 | sleep as I get older because I found like back in 2022 had some issues with like struggling |
1:24.2 | sleeping, like to the point where I was like, man, do I have insomnia? I remember one time taking like NyQuil, just so I want to go to sleep. And instead of |
1:31.1 | sleeping, I would just stayed awake. And I found that like, you know, I have special colored |
1:35.7 | bulbs in my lamps around the house. I have blackout curtains. I have a sleep time that I like |
1:43.3 | basically an alarm to go to sleep to |
1:45.5 | make sure I'm in bed to begin the process off. I typically read to wind down and then I have a process, |
1:51.0 | you know, and I go through this. And again, sleep is super, super important for recovery. And again, |
1:55.5 | one of the things that I do like to add into the mix for recovery to help me as an older grappler that's trying to keep training |
2:00.8 | and stay stay in shape and all that other stuff is charlotsweb CBD if you guys want to check them out |
