The Issue As an part owner of a jiu-jitsu academy and father to a 12-year-old female athlete, ensuring a safe environment and providing essential education to identify and report misconduct is paramount to me. Our community is built on trust, respect, and discipline, yet the potential threat of sexual misconduct and abuse persists. It is crucial for every academy and program within the jiu-jitsu, grappling, and wrestling world to not only complete SafeSport training for coaching credentials or equivalent but also to make information on educational and reporting resources readily available and visible within the facilities and on websites.    Organizations such as the IBJJF and USA Wrestling are in unique positions to lead this change. They already require training for coaching credentials but they can also help by mandating that all affiliated academies post detailed, accessible information on their websites and within their facilities, they can create a safer environment for young athletes. The initiative should include clear educational materials and training courses provided by Safesport free of charge and directed at youth athletes and their parents, detailing how to recognize, prevent, and report any misconduct or abuse. This not only protects the potential victims but also empowers them with knowledge and confidence.   Statistics show that educating young people about potential threats reduces the risk of abuse and empowers them to act if they encounter inappropriate situations. For example, studies by organizations such as the National Sexual Violence Resource Center highlight the effectiveness of awareness and education in reducing incidents of abuse. Furthermore, making resources visible in common areas within academies sends a strong message of zero tolerance for misconduct and fosters a culture of safety and openness.   The change we seek is simple yet impactful: Make abuse and misconduct prevention resources visible and accessible. By doing so, we can shield our young athletes better and support them in pursuing their passion for martial arts without fear.   Join me in urging these organizations to step up and drive this essential change for the safety and wellbeing of our children. Please sign this petition to demand that academies and programs within our community take responsibility for sharing education and resources, making a meaningful impact in combating sexual misconduct.
