He gave a brief explanation so as to what happened in the YouTube comments:
Jones added that he’ll share a full explanation soon, which will also address the allegations of him “stealing the gym” from Danaher’s New Wave academy:
As a reminder, here’s what Danaher said about the split:
Nick Rodriguez has also shared his view on the split in a Get Close podcast episode:
We parted ways, it was a few factors. Once COVID hit we moved to Puerto Rico. The team wasn’t really getting along too well in Puerto Rico just because we had some inner issues and stuff. It was honestly a lot healthier for us to split off and do our own thing.
So we came here to Austin, we set up B-Team Jiu-Jitsu in Austin, training out there now. John still has a couple guys that he trains with in Austin but on a separate side of town.We separated because it’s definitely more beneficial to go our separate ways. We were just having a little bit of animosity in the room and it was taking away from our ability to learn.
