Idaho Murders Cause Surge in Local BJJ gym
A grisly quadruple murder in the small town of Moscow, Idaho has put residents in a state of fear, causing a huge spike in the interest in self-defense in a Local BJJ gym, as well as increased interest in firearm training.

Moscow, Idaho is a small town that was rocked by a gruesome quadruple murder on November 13, 2022. The brutal stabbing of four students in the vicinity of the University of Idaho has instilled fear in residents, and with police unable to identify or apprehend a suspect in more than a month, people are now surging to a local BJJ gym in the quest for self-defense training.

The gnarly murder happened in a house just yards away from the University of Idaho campus, where the bodies of four students, Kaylee Goncalves (21), Madison Mogen (21), Xana Kernodle (20), and Ethan Chapin (20) were discovered last month. According to the police, the murderer used a fixed-blade knife and is still at large.

Victims of Idaho murders draw people to local BJJ gym

Many students have decided not to return to the University of Idaho for the spring semester, and locals are reporting that they are rattled and concerned about getting to work or being alone. This has caused a massive interest in classes in a local BJJ gym.

WIth heavy snow preventing people from actively obtaining firearms training despite triple the usual interest, Jiu-Jitsu emerges as the people’s choice for regaining some control and safety in everyday life.

What happened has certainly heightened interest in classes, but the trend towards more female participation has been on the rise for the past years. Having said that, I would say that the past month has led to even more calls about our striking classes,” Cathy Curry from local BJJ Gym “V7 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu” told Fox News Digital.

“During our classes we promote the importance of self-awareness and self-security to avoid situations, as well as teach the skills to address situations as they arise through a variety of drills and live training.

So far, five weeks have passed with no results, but local police are pledging that they are doing everything possible to solve the case.
