At Barton Springs in Austin, a floating mat that looks something like a boxing platform crossed with a lily pad has become the stage for AquaJits, a hybrid of jiu-jitsu and sumo where competitors grapple for position while trying to push each other into the water below.<\/strong><\/p>\n But the unusual setup recently drew unwanted attention from local authorities.<\/p>\n According to Noah, an Austin-based martial artist and content creator, the Austin Police Department showed up at Barton Springs roughly two weeks before the activity was shut down, responding to a complaint. This guy is proudly admitting to calling the police on Aquajits out here in Austin, Texas at Barton Springs.<\/p>\n Aquajits is a jiu-jitsu and sumo-based rule set on a mat that\u2019s floating in the middle of Barton Springs. Noah wasn\u2019t convinced, especially given what else regularly happens at the same park:<\/p>\n But swinging off a rope into the water that is hanging from a tree is not dangerous at all. But you\u2019re gonna try to tell me that that\u2019s not as dangerous as wrestling on a mat and trying to push someone into the water?<\/p>\n He pushed the argument further:<\/p>\n And you want to talk about bad influence. There are tons of homeless encampments at Barton Springs. Your kids could step on a needle. And don\u2019t get me wrong, I love Barton Springs and all the weirdness that goes on there. Get your priorities straight.<\/p>\n \n \ud83d\udca5 What if slowing down was the fastest way to win?<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcad Tired of Getting Smashed by Younger, Stronger Grapplers?<\/p>\n It\u2019s not your age.

Noah later tracked down the person responsible and got him to explain his reasoning on camera:<\/p>\n
The police was calling us about two weeks ago. And this guy states that it is too dangerous and a bad influence on kids.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t get me wrong, I love a good rope swing.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re doing illegal stuff right out in the open.<\/p>\n
