What Reddit says about Gentle Art Studio - Lotus Club Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Astoria BJJ

2 verbatim community mentions from r/bjj and city subreddits, unedited, positives and negatives alike.

I can't be fucked to remember the names of these sodomite footlock obsessed degenerates. I'm too busy drilling functional jiu jitsu. I saw the "sport" fall apart before my eyes in New York once Instagram came out. OnlyFans has only done more damage. This used to be a dignified art and it still can be. I don't even think their knowledge/ability is needed. Largely a bastardization of what was once great. Everyone is obsessed with systems and labels. Rickson didn't need any of this shit. source, 2025 ↗

The United States military adopted judo as their first ever official hand hand combat martial art. They adopted it in 1901 and fully implemented it in 1905 and it stayed until 1990/1995 when the United States Army switched over to a more jiu-jitsu approach, United States. Marine Corps kept the judo fundamentals, but renamed it MCMAP. The California highway patrol the Los Angeles, Police Department, the New York State police, the Texas Rangers and all federal law-enforcement entities were trained in judo at some time during the military’s adoption in 1905 and the 1990’s. I would say 90% of poli source, 2024 ↗
