High Rollerz Jiu Jitsu: Is MMA better ON WEED?

[King Kamala]

Is this what KOAB has been up to since recovering from COVID? Producing marijuana themed MMA shows?

One of these teams is sponsored by RVD. They also have a stoned Muay Thai league.

I can't think of anything that sounds less fun to do while stoned than jiu-jitsu but maybe Joe Rogan and RVD know something that I don't.

30% of everyone who does BJJ smokes weed before training

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Yeah if you’ve never done some kind of sport or exercise while stoned, you’re missing out. I wouldn’t compete under the influence but that’s just me.

 

[King Kamala]

I guess it would reduce the stress and anxiety over possibility of choking someone out (or being choked out).

 

[HSJ]

It depends on the person. I could never do it, but I know people who have and they said it helps slow things down for them.

I get how getting the brain slow down might help in jiu jitsu. Not sure how smoking weed helps out in Muay Thai. Maybe I should have asked Matt Riddle when I met him.
