This is just dumb. A 3-year old isn't going to learn anything useful at a BJJ school. I hope that it's really just daycare and parents aren't being overcharged thinking their toddlers are learning self-defence.
Sure, it's "law enforcement" who they're fooling, because otherwise "law enforcement", especially "law enforcement" in rural Tennessee would step in to protect the population from the racists. Right?
Also, shouldn't these racists be focusing on HEMA, not a Brazilian version of a Japanese martial art?
teaching lil guys footwork and tumbling is a great idea, idc what you call it
*edit unless you call it something nazi bc you are a nazi, then i'm against it
A 3 year old just learned how to walk. Tumbling is natural for them, it's avoiding tumbling that's the issue.
