The jiu-jitsu world was shaken recently when Jack Greener, severely injured in 2018 while sparring at a San Diego gym, was awarded $46,475,112 dollars by a jury. Rener Gracie testified for the plaintiff, and Clark Gracie testified for the defence. In this episode, I get together with Dan Lukeheart (Brea Jiu-Jitsu) and Alex Kask (Barrister and Solicitor) to discuss…

– The specific technique that caused this injury (the ‘Leo Viera Backtake’),
– Training methods used in jiu-jitsu,
– Who gets to set industry standards in jiu-jitsu,
– Whether white belts should spar,
– How teachers and club owners can protect themselves from being wiped out by similar lawsuits,
– And more.

More information about this lawsuit is available here…
