International Fears UK martial arts gyms are being used to recruit youngsters to fascism - even if 'direct political activism is minimal'

Same. I train at an Academy with multiple BJJ champions, up to World Masters level. Quite a few guys also compete in MMA.

Anyone who used racist language would be thrown out. Literally. Disrespectful behaviour of any kind is not tolerated.

Yeah, I would argue Martial Arts gyms are the most inclusive places I've ever been. Everyone is equal on the mats.

This. So much this. There's no hiding place on the mats. No one gives a fuck about your race, religion, political views or social class. As long as you're a good training partner, you'll be accepted.

It's fine. There are clubs with tons of muslims. They can fight each other without weapons. It's better for everyone.
