The most dangerous men in BJJ

12 Upvotes

The global Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) community has long been heralded for its camaraderie, discipline, and dedication to personal growth. However, a dark shadow looms over this martial art as allegations of sexual assault and rape involving prominent figures such as Ricardo Delariva, Cyborg, Jackson Souza, and Lloyd Irwing have surfaced. It is essential for the BJJ community to acknowledge these allegations seriously, respond empathetically, and take decisive action to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all practitioners.

To foster trust within the BJJ community, it is imperative to openly acknowledge the allegations against Ricardo Delariva, Cyborg, Jackson Souza, and Lloyd Irwing. While allegations do not constitute guilt, the seriousness of the accusations warrants thorough investigation and consideration. Denying or ignoring such claims undermines the values of honesty and integrity that are fundamental to the martial arts.

Allegedly
- Ricardo Delariva raped his most successful pupil, kicked all females from his school and lied.
- Cyborg help facilitate rapist access more victims and avoid justice once exposed.
- Jackson Souza sexually assaulted numerous victims under the watchful eyes of his professor.
- Lloyd Irwing - Raped, sexually assaulted, abused, cheated and conned many.

Just this week (December 14 2023) 2 more BJJ instructors, one in CT, one in Australia were charged for alleged sexual crimes.

THESE PEOPLE STILL HAVE ACADEMIES AND SPREAD THEIR BJJ AND VALUES

Leaders within the BJJ community , including gym owners, instructors, and event organizers (IBJJF), play a pivotal role in shaping the culture and values of the sport. They must take proactive measures to address allegations of sexual assault, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy and implementing robust screening processes to ensure the safety of all members. Failing to address such allegations undermines the community's credibility and perpetuates a culture of silence.

In conclusion, the allegations of sexual assault within the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community demand a collective and resolute response. By acknowledging the gravity of these allegations, fostering empathy for survivors, and taking decisive action against alleged perpetrators like Ricardo Delariva, Cyborg, Jackson Souza, and Lloyd Irwing, the BJJ community can demonstrate its commitment to safety, justice, and the well-being of its members. It is time to excise the bleeding cold sore of sexual misconduct from the heart of BJJ and cultivate a culture that values respect, integrity, and inclusivity.

I got into BJJ because my best friends have been doing it as long as I’ve known them and I’ve grown a huge appreciation for it over about the last 10+ years. I’m pretty much just the camera guy but I’ve learned so much and have met some cool athletes out of it, being professional and amateur. I notice trends and changes thru the sport and I really enjoy it!
