Joe Glenton: Towards an Anti-Fascist Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Manage episode 394127705 series 3547798
Joe Glenton reflects on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu’s complex and intimate relationship with various currents of right-wing politics.
He explores the dominant cultures within BJJ including the prevalence of reactionary conspiracy theories and how Brazilian fascism continues to shape the upper echelons of the sport. We also discuss Comunidade Jiu Jitsu, an invitation only gym founded to create a welcoming and inclusive space built on commitments to anti-racism, LGBTQ+ inclusion and gender equality.
Joe is a journalist, film-maker and award-winning writer. He is the author of Veteranhood, which was published by Repeater books in 2021, a book about the political world of veterans and militarism in Britain. Joe is a veteran turned conscientious objector and anti-war campaigner who served in Afghanistan before going AWOL and using the ensuing legal case to mount a critique of The War on Terror and British Imperialism.
