Most martial arts gyms assume they’re safe, but many are missing critical protections for kids and women.

In this eye-opening episode, black belt Milton Campis exposes a hidden safety crisis inside martial arts and jiu-jitsu gyms, and explains what must change. After seeing repeated stories of misconduct, unsafe environments, and ignored warning signs, Milton created Academy Safe, a system designed to make background checks, health protocols, and safety standards the norm, not the exception.

We discuss real-world examples of how abuse and negligence slip through the cracks, and more importantly, a clear, practical framework that gym owners, coaches, parents, and students can use right now. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The 8 core safety measures every martial arts school must have
• How to spot red flags in unsafe or irresponsible gyms
• How to talk to kids and training partners about safety, honestly, and clearly
• The legal and moral responsibility of background screening
• How raising standards can transform martial arts into a true community of trust

Whether you’re a parent choosing a gym, a coach running a school, or a practitioner who wants a safer training environment, this conversation matters.

This isn’t about fear; it’s about leadership, accountability, and protecting the people who trust us most.
