If you’ve been training jiu-jitsu long enough, you’ve probably encountered a situation that made you go, “Huh. This martial art really does bring people from all walks of life together.”

Comedian Ronny Chieng — who you may be familiar with if you’re a stand-up comedy follower, have seen Crazy Rich Asians or The Daily Show, or simply have a Netflix account — knows quite well that jiu-jitsu can be a catalyst that unites cultures from all over the world. He himself is a BJJ blue belt, and a few days ago, he shared a post that acknowledged jiu-jitsu’s unique way of bringing people together.

“In Japan a Chinese Malaysian learning from a Ghanaian a Brazilian martial art that came from Japan something something something multiculturalism remixing ideas yada yada yada etc watch my comedy special out now on @Netflix ðŸ¥‹ @haisamcdbjj@carpediembjj_official@albinoandpreto
