Andrew Wiltse delivers PSA on sexual assault: ‘No means No!’

If you have a look at grappling Andrew Wiltse’s YouTube channel you will see grappling, Panda Express orange chicken, and his Border Collie named Riddle. In between all this, Andrew Wiltse does get real and discuss more serious topics.

On his social media this week, Wilste spoke out about gym owners abusing their power and preying on younger students. Unfortunately, this is tragically common in the sports world at large the most famous case being that of USA Gymnastics coach Larry Nassar. The biggest case in MMA is the case of Jiu-Jitsu coach, Lloyd Irvin. It is clear that this kind of disgusting behaviour is still on going and Wiltse is speaking out:

“If they’re under the age of 18, don’t f*cking do it! Some of you stupid f*cking idiots out there don’t understand that they’re children. Their brains are not fully developed… They don’t have any life experience yet, they don’t have any real individuality. And they don’t control their own lives yet. They don’t know who they are as people.”

Wiltse hasn’t named any names, but he has said that in this particular case it is BJJ athletes covering for other BJJ athletes:

“I can somewhat understand that this guy is your friend… [But] no. Come on man, you guys set an example for the rest of the sport. You have people who look up to you. You can’t normalize this culture, just don’t do it.”

It can come down to blaming the victim, a child for this. Wiltse, and everyone else with even half a brain, sees that this flat out incorrect:

“You’re literally blaming children for being promiscuous, you dumb motherf*ckers.”
