BJJ Scout's BJJ Digest: Askren Inventing 165 lb Belt, Ralph Gracie/Gracie Barra Battle Lines Drawn & Skeletons Walking....

Some reaaaaaaaal accusations laid out in this one.
None of them particularly surprising: marriages for green cards, accusations of improper relationships with minors...disputes over who deserved what in regards to the incident, not sure what else to call it?

On one hand we have academies based solely in sport, folks training JiuJitsu with no desire to ever be in a fight. On the other hand, this is a combat sport in which we train the ability to strangle and mangle the human body.
Somewhere in the middle is a business model of an acadmey and old time ethos/values at play....fueled by previous history and views and politics....it's a potent mix when it comes to a head like it did at the NoGi Worlds.
