278-What BJJ Gets Right That Other Martial Arts Don't | Rigan Machado
In this episode of Social Gelo, I sit down with BJJ legend Rigan Machado to discuss why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has experienced incredible growth while many other martial arts have struggled to keep pace. We explore the importance of community, leadership, culture, student retention, and what academy owners and instructors from every martial art can learn from BJJ's success. We also discuss the future of martial arts, building strong schools, and the philosophy behind the Mach5 Network. Whether you're a martial artist, instructor, school owner, or simply interested in the evolution of combat sports, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
