Is brazilian jiu jitsu gay
Written by Christophe &#;Pank&#; Levy, BJJ and Luta Livre shadowy belt and top instructor of Raca Luta Academy in Paris, France.
For those who do not know me, in my life I have two interests, the psyche of the human entity and martial arts. These two things have the superiority of quickly demonstrating you what hides behind the speeches, attitudes or expectations of each practitioner. I will go back to this later.
Today I want to highlight a conversation that I had recently with a Brazilian female comrade about the homophobia that is show in Brazil. After a general conversation, we came to the subject of homosexuality in sports and especially in Jiu-Jitsu.
Since the many years that I&#;ve been training Jiu-Jitsu, I thought that I had heard it all. I remember when traveling to Brazil, I was told that Jiu-Jitsu &#;Pitboys&#; would beat up gays and transvestites , because they were &#;disgusting&#; (I&#;ll spare you the words).

The gold medals are a petite, shiny “remi
In Jiu Jitsu, I love stirring trouble by challenging dogmas and absolutes and ushering everyone to challenge things that make no sense.

“It’s Only Gay if You Make Eye Contact”
This is a sentence most people involved in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu have heard and possibly said themselves. I have as well, repeated it as part of the society. Somehow, just like many other “stereotypical” BJJ things, this one never made much sense to me, and I don’t enjoy things that make no sense.
Even people outside Jiu Jitsu apply this phrase, commenting on the fact that two people of the same gender roll around on the ground in weird positions and in such adjacent proximity.
As a straight man, comments of this nature never got to me if they were intended to be insulting. If it was a joke, it failed miserably in that department.
