In the aftermath of Jay Rodriguez’s removal from B-Team Jiu-Jitsu, team member Ally Wolski has stepped forward as a powerful voice for the women affected — and for the future of female athletes in the sport.
Rodriguez, an ADCC silver medalist and one of B-Team’s most high-profile athletes, was dismissed following allegations of inappropriate behavior toward women at the gym. In his public apology, he took “full accountability” for his past actions and asked that the privacy of those impacted be respected:
“I am truly sorry… I ask that the public show them the respect and consideration they deserve by refraining from contacting or attempting to identify them.”
But the story doesn’t end with an apology. For Wolski and other women at B-Team, the emotional and professional fallout is very real.
“I will not allow this to affect my, or my female teammates’, future opportunities in Jiu-Jitsu,” Wolski wrote in a powerful Instagram story. “We’ve done nothing wrong.”
Her post addresses the wave of online harassment she and others have faced, calling out individuals hiding behind burner accounts to leave “unhelpful sh*t” on her posts and the team’s YouTube channel. She made it clear that such toxicity won’t deter her or other women from progressing in the sport they love.
Wolski also announced plans to share her personal experience in a forthcoming video:
“I’ll make a video later explaining from MY perspective as a woman at B-Team who this has affected. I will only share what is mine — I’m not going to share the stories of other women who were affected by this behavior.”
The statement makes it clear: Wolski is not seeking drama — she’s demanding respect and space for women in jiu-jitsu to thrive without fear, shame, or blame.
She ended her message with gratitude to B-Team leaders Craig Jones and Seth, crediting them for prioritizing the team’s well-being:
“Thank you to @bteamjj Craig & Seth for putting our safety and comfort first.”
The scandal has sparked wider conversations about boundaries, responsibility, and the treatment of women in martial arts. Wolski’s courage in speaking up — not as a victim, but as a leader — signals a shift in how these matters are being handled, both publicly and within the sport’s most elite teams.
This is more than a team controversy — it’s a wake-up call for the entire jiu-jitsu community.
