It has been an informative and tough week in the grappling and jiu-jitsu community. We have Averi Clements on to help us navigate the entire story. She and the folks at JiuJitsu Times have really put the work in. Journalism doesn't get the credit it deserves when its done well, it only gets the spotlight. We stand with the integrity of their reporting and the substance of this interview. We did try to bring some fun to an extremely tough topic, and apologize if doing so in any way takes away from the seriousness of the subject matter. (TRIGGER WARNING: episode contains sensitive material related to sexual assault that you may want to skip) Please report your story to the JiuJitsu Times if you've experienced harassment. https://www.jiujitsutimes.com/author/averi/
