@BJJBalance especially for people who don't know what's going on and won't see any reason to not send him money or invite him to do seminars at their gym
@@BJJBalance I heard he was invited to one and people walked out, he didnt show any techniques, he was just going off on the white board speaking about "optimizing" jiu jitsu. after a few hours of that people just walked out.
That’s delusions of grandeur, a classic symptom of some types of bipolar disorder. A relative of mine suffered from the same thing and when she was off her meds she truly believed that she was president of the Philippines.
I’ve been watching his insanity for a few months now and yeah he’s having a manic episode most likely (which can last for months if untreated, along with other mental health/drug issues). I know a lot of people don’t want to bring attention to his situation, but if he’s going to be offering seminars/privates etc. Then people need to be aware that he’s unstable and should not be around people. Hopefully this all ends well and he gets the help he needs and goes down a better path.
Thats why I've been posting some of his videos. I'm concerned the BJJ community won't realize his state and let him in after the things he's said. The students must be kept safe and he is a morally dangerous person to have around right now.
unfortunately, this guy is a lost cause, hes gonna end up deleting himself or the girl hes with. I hope the best for him but it sucks he has burned every bridge with everyone. he is calling every person evil if they dont agree with his delusion.
I disagree. People need to be aware as this man is out of control and attempting to travel and teach seminars. This man shouldn’t be anywhere near the general public. He’s a danger to himself and to others.
It's a combination of poor mental health, surrounding yourself with enablers, and then the ego the size of our galaxy thinking he's so smart he can fix himself. The mans already made enough threats online he should've been arrested. There's a google drive somebody built that saved all of his threatening rants. Kind of ironic that the guy claiming he has the evidence to bring so many people down created a mountain of evidence against himself at the same time. It's a big brain move that only he probably understands.
All very valid points. People have argued here, that he has evidence android state that I’ve yet to see a shred of it. It’s all been him making claims with no support.
I think it’s pretty evident that he’s having a mental health crisis. I don’t understand why we need podcasters weighing in on it. And it seems kind of gross to make content about it?
I think it’s poor form to ignore people setting bad examples in the you jitsu community. Regardless of how you feel, Andrew is building a following of people who believe the insane things he is saying.
@ He’s losing his following, not building. He’s destroyed his credibility and his relationships- is it necessary for you to try to capitalize on one of the lowest points in his life?
I agree I don’t see it ending well either. Thank you guys for making another video about this so people who do wish Andrew well can have a platform to vent and share their thoughts.
We absolutely do not wish Andrew any ill will. In a perfect world, he’d seek help, find treatment that works for him, get back on the mats and become a world champion with an amazing story. Only time will tell how this plays out.
Thank you for doing this video, it’s been alarming to watch his deterioration in real time. He quite clearly is having a manic episode and is off his meds, exacerbated by illicit drugs.
We have had wiltse supporters out of the woodwork today one the page and few are willing to acknowledge his drug use. Maybe it’s because they’ve never been around drug users
This is his mom and Andrew is mentally unwell and shows it everyday.He has ruined his life and families life. You are also spot on. This is not the Andrew I new but a man possessed by evil. He is going down a dark road we have no control over. Please report his channels and videos so he is taken off u-tube and Instagram. His family is devastated at what he has done and still doing.
Do you as his mother take any responsibility for raising him in a way that was out of touch with reality and made him delusional? In the Daisy Fresh episodes he blamed you as parents for raising him in a delusional way making him think he was “a wizard” and I can see you believe in things like “living zombies” from your channel. Based on your beliefs and how you raised him to be delusional and out of touch with reality, do you think you have to accept some responsibility for his subsequent madness? Or are you also suffering from a lack of personal responsibility and want to leave your son to his fate that you set up for him (delusion, paranoia and madness)?
@ Andrew’s inability to take personal responsibility for his actions and to blame his mother is not her issue to resolve. At some point and time, Andrew is going to need to grow up and learn to become a man.
Yeah buddy he was out of town. I think someone saw his videos and knew it was the time to send a message that got him out of the area for good. Don't know what happens from here but it keeps getting worse.
It was built in or around 1910 I believe. Not taken care of, random extension cords running everywhere. Likely knob & tube wiring. I wouldn’t be surprised if he left something on when he left & it caught the house on fire while they were out of town
His house "burn down" in the beginning of this week and he says all of his money was there despite the fact that he's been only getting donations through Paypal for the last several weeks. He's after that insurance money now
That dude is in the middle of the craziest mental breakdown ever and any video like this that addresses him is just going to add more fuel to the fire. Im really happy you guys chose not to post memes about him that is some great foresight. But even addressing him at all would not be great. Its a lose lose situation for you guys. If something bad happens to him you will be looked at as the people who made fun of him at his worst moments. And if hes still manic and responds to you then you guys will just be arguing with someone you already admit is crazy and thats not a good look either. Ive been watching his episodes for the last day and a half and have no idea what to do or how to help. I also want to see what the bjj community in general think of all of this. But id also rather not know if talking about it publicly will egg him on further. I almost feel like Andrew myself with this long rant but i would just say please try and be even extra cautious about all this. Peace and love guys 🤙🏾
I agree with you. While I’m interested in people’s takes, it’s only going to make the situation worse. Even if you try to speak to him respectfully and bring him down from the manic episode, it’s not going to work. He sounds calm, but he’s not ok and I wish he would get some help. I think giving him space to ride this out is the only way. Unfortunately, animals are involved and it sounds like he stole at least one of them (from his brother in law).
@BJJBalance hes about to roll up to daisy fresh in 20 mins to try and fight heath. His yt and ig got banned thats 100k followers between the 2. Hes going to get his gf ig banned next.
He’s giving me Ricardo Lopez vibes (The Bjork Stalker for anyone that might be a bit young for that). His level of mania sounds very similar and this didn’t end well for Lopez. He sent a mail bomb to Bjork then subsequently shot himself on camera. I went down this rabbit hole like ten years ago and this guy documented his decline into madness for about 7 months, I watched every one of his videos. Andrew’s videos are reminding me very much of them and that doesn’t end well
I seriously feel bad for the guy man. He self admittedly said in the daisy fresh series that jiu jitsu saved his life .. I don't think he was exaggerating.. He is a dude with a lot of trauma and the glue that tied him together was the comradery and intense competitive nature of PSF. Ever since he separated into making his own content (which went well for a period of time) with his brother, there was a distance between him and the competitive BJJ scene that really must have fucked with his identity. He still had his issues when he was competing on Flo with WNO etc. but his energy was directed in a better place than it is now, which seems to be related to SA, stopping pedos, and these delusions of grandeur. Thanks for talking about this and I appreciate that you guys are not just capitalizing for views. Guy needs to steer back on the right path or like you said it will most likely end badly for him.
I had a phone conversation with him a couple weeks ago - he’s actually a very nice dude; and should be remembered for the person he was his whole life - not this one episode of mental lapse. Please have compassion guys - even ADHD medication can cause psychosis
We have stated multiple times that we hope he gets help and gets better. That being said, it would be irresponsible to ignore what he has said and done. That is how people end up dead.
Im dealing with a ex Jiujitsu student that is similar to Wiltse, grown man started fights with 6 year old and than a 11 year old punching the 11 year old in the head, yells at the instructor to shut up and do the job he paid for...now posting bunch of toxic shit online trying to ruin us
@ at this point, you have to protect your business. Obviously you don’t want to slander someone that you care about, but you also can not allow a person who is not of sound mind to destroy your life. Ignoring him would only be enabling him and being mentally ill doesnt absolve anyone of consequences.
@@BJJBalance thanks so much for your advice, as im alone trying to deal with this 😔 even my co worker Jiujitsu coach doesnt support me he just said its between me and the crazy guy, and now that Jiujitsu coach quit and might be opening a gym with the crazy guy...
Dude this saga (his stories) got me through making lunch and several errands. It’s been _INSANE_ I feel really bad for the guy but like, can’t look away just because it’s so out of control
Having a mental crisis isn’t an excuse to make death threats, etc. he spent two weeks in a mental health ward and got out simply to proceed with his typical behavior. You can not help those who refuse help.
He’s in a manic state and has no idea what he’s doing. Is what he’s saying OK? Absolutely not, but give him some grace to know he needs help, not people like you looking to get clicks by using his name.
You are entitled to your own opinion, but ignoring someone’s mental health issue as opposed to bringing awareness to it, isn’t doing the world a favor. That’s behavior that enables.
@@BJJBalance I think the best thing to do is ignore it, because very few people can actually get him admitted to hospital to get treated. We wouldn't really put someone on blast and call them 'not a good person' because they had pneumonia or cancer or something, but for some reason this gets treated differently. He's sick right now, and at the same time while he's not at all in control, he's nuking his public and professional reputation. Being manic for this long has bad effects on the brain, so while he's sick and destroying his career publicly, he's also doing irreparable damage to his brain because he's not being treated for his illness properly. It's actually really sad, and it's really unfortunate with this kind of illness that he has access to blast it to the world.
@@BJJBalance I'm not sure why youtube deleted my response but I'll try to write it again from what I can remember. I think the best thing to do is for everyone who isn't in a position to help him to ignore what's going on right now. We wouldn't put someone on blast and call them 'not a good person' because they had pneumonia or cancer or something, but this is being treated differently. He's sick right now and he's not getting the proper treatment, and unfortunately he's not getting admitted to hospital to get that treatment for his illness. Being manic for as long as he has been has really bad effects on brain health. So while he's publicly nuking his public and professional reputation, he's also doing irreparable harm to his brain. What's going on is actually really sad, because he's not just ruining his professional prospects, relationships, and public perception - he is doing harm to his long term health as a result of the illness, and he's not in control of this. It's really unfortunate that with this kind of illness that he has access to social media. Overall from some of the responses I've seen to it I'm not sure if it's doing more or less for the awareness of what mental illness actually looks like, but I know it's not helping him.
@@kevinb123b it was doing that to me earlier as well. I replied to someone’s comments twice and it showed replies, but when I click on them it was blank.
@@shonnyboyy5284 I’ve watched enough videos of Andrew claiming to be a deity and threatening to murder people and agreeing to pimp his girlfriend out to make a for assessment. There is nothing new under the sun. I’ve been around people like Andrew my entire life. He needs help but refuses to acknowledge his gleaming faults, so he will never get the help he needs. Instead, he will continue to pray on his communities he alienates them or, harms someone or ends up in the morgue. I don’t wish his downfall. I wish he would get help. Sadly, I don’t see that happening.
@ I dont need to address anything. Why do I need to provide evidence when Andrew hasn’t provided a shred of evidence for any of the claims that he’s made? I just said the man is broken and needs help. Want evidence? Watch any of his posts on social media in the last month. You told me to use discernment regarding his claims of being a deity, yet you have yet to use a shred of discernment yourself.
Well, all of the people that’s he’s abused over the last few months would disagree. It does appear that he is getting help and that is amazing. In a perfect world, Andrew finds the tools to navigate his illness’ and persues whatever makes him happy.
He needs help. Leaders of bjj community can we start a go fund me page or something to help. Depression is not a joke and it can happen to anyone. Andrew needs love, not hate.
Andrew needs a hospital and therapy as well as medication. He doesn’t need a go fund me. Many of his family members are in the comments on this video, giving realistic explanations as to what is going on. I wouldn’t believe a thing that comes out of that man’s mouth as he was on a path to self destruction.
@@BJJBalance maybe he is not that lucky to have the help of the community. But if he has a loving and warm home to return to, that is what anyone in his situation needs. A lot of young ppl who turns to drug have no home to return to even if they are about to kick the habit. So why even bother? Imagine if you have a family member who is mentally ill, would you give up on him/her and just call it off as self destructive path? Does Andrew need ppl in his life ti give him hugs and watch his back or more ppl just pouring oil on the fire and watch him die as entertainment?
I would say that Andrew needs to take responsibility for his mental health, remove himself from social media and learn to become a productive member of society.
I hope you can make an update and follow up video with some good feedbacks. We are a bjj community and your channel can be a start of something great to help. If Andrew was your blood brother, and you have to do an interview to talk about him, what would you say?
Watching him over the last few months has been hilarious and brilliant. He won’t accept personal responsibility for anything and his entire life and mind have collapsed because of it. It’s been brilliant to see because it’s so fascinating to see the consequences of a lack of personal responsibility and a left-wing attitude that blames everyone else for your problems while you destroy your life in every possible way.
@@CathyBilsky I can only imagine being the MOTHER of a son that I raised into an insane world of supernatural beliefs and then disowning and turning my back on my son when he goes insane (I saw the messages between you that Andrew posted) and then claiming to have moral superiority over a complete stranger that isn’t a part of my son’s life. You do realise that as a parent of a child with severe mental disturbances, YOU AS THE PRIMARY CAREGIVER are literally the person most to blame, correct?
@@jordangill2710 Wow you have issues. I live in Hawaii dude. I flew to Mt Vernon and got him in a mental hospital which let him out so go focus on something that will make you happy . I am NOT his primary care giver and Andrew has made sure that won't happen. You do not know all Andrew has done so I forgive your attacks on me. You must really like Andrew...other than making fun of his mental illness which shows what great character you have.
He's mentioned having bipolar disorder a lot on his channel when he was doing bjj content. Super sad. Dude is a sick jiu-jitsu player.

We wouldn't put someone on blast and call them 'not a good person' because they had pneumonia or cancer or something, but this is being treated differently. He's sick right now and he's not getting the proper treatment, and unfortunately he's not getting admitted to hospital to get that treatment for his illness.
Being manic for as long as he has been has really bad effects on brain health. So while he's publicly nuking his public and professional reputation, he's also doing irreparable harm to his brain. What's going on is actually really sad, because he's not just ruining his professional prospects, relationships, and public perception - he is doing harm to his long term health as a result of the illness, and he's not in control of this. It's really unfortunate that with this kind of illness that he has access to social media. Overall from some of the responses I've seen to it I'm not sure if it's doing more or less for the awareness of what mental illness actually looks like, but I know it's not helping him.
@@BJJBalance it keeps deleting my comment responding to this
@@kevinb123b it was doing that to me earlier as well. I replied to someone’s comments twice and it showed replies, but when I click on them it was blank.
I commented on one of his videos and he blocked me
His whole UA-cam was nuked today.
@@shonnyboyy5284 I’ve watched enough videos of Andrew claiming to be a deity and threatening to murder people and agreeing to pimp his girlfriend out to make a for assessment. There is nothing new under the sun. I’ve been around people like Andrew my entire life. He needs help but refuses to acknowledge his gleaming faults, so he will never get the help he needs. Instead, he will continue to pray on his communities he alienates them or, harms someone or ends up in the morgue. I don’t wish his downfall. I wish he would get help. Sadly, I don’t see that happening.
@@shonnyboyy5284 hi andrew, we know its you, please seek help we want you to be good again
@ I dont need to address anything. Why do I need to provide evidence when Andrew hasn’t provided a shred of evidence for any of the claims that he’s made? I just said the man is broken and needs help. Want evidence? Watch any of his posts on social media in the last month. You told me to use discernment regarding his claims of being a deity, yet you have yet to use a shred of discernment yourself.
@@BJJBalance It's andrew in a fake account, just dont respond anymore
I thinks Andrew is a very good person who is having mental issues.
Well, all of the people that’s he’s abused over the last few months would disagree. It does appear that he is getting help and that is amazing. In a perfect world, Andrew finds the tools to navigate his illness’ and persues whatever makes him happy.
He needs help. Leaders of bjj community can we start a go fund me page or something to help. Depression is not a joke and it can happen to anyone. Andrew needs love, not hate.
Andrew needs a hospital and therapy as well as medication. He doesn’t need a go fund me. Many of his family members are in the comments on this video, giving realistic explanations as to what is going on. I wouldn’t believe a thing that comes out of that man’s mouth as he was on a path to self destruction.
@@BJJBalance maybe he is not that lucky to have the help of the community. But if he has a loving and warm home to return to, that is what anyone in his situation needs. A lot of young ppl who turns to drug have no home to return to even if they are about to kick the habit. So why even bother? Imagine if you have a family member who is mentally ill, would you give up on him/her and just call it off as self destructive path? Does Andrew need ppl in his life ti give him hugs and watch his back or more ppl just pouring oil on the fire and watch him die as entertainment?
I would say that Andrew needs to take responsibility for his mental health, remove himself from social media and learn to become a productive member of society.
@@BJJBalance that’s easy to say. There will come a day when even you may need a helping hand or supportive words from your community or a stranger.
I hope you can make an update and follow up video with some good feedbacks. We are a bjj community and your channel can be a start of something great to help. If Andrew was your blood brother, and you have to do an interview to talk about him, what would you say?
The man has lost tha plot lol he's nuts
I saw some clips of him on YT and he definitely seemed to be having a manic episode
I believe it’s that mixed with drug use.
@ definitely, drugs can trigger it. Even just weed can trigger it. Delusions of grandeur are a telltale sign of manic
Which we have definitely seen as of late.
His channel is gone now.
His new one?
He's threatening and hunting down my dad, uncle and a few of there friends.
My hope is that you guys get the police involved because Andrew completely unravels and does something that can’t be undone.
Doing a podcast while wearing sunglasses and a rash guard is top tier loser.
Awwww. Someone doesn’t know what Halloween is. It was an intentional costume. Sick comment though. Thanks for the algorithm bump.
@ hahaha then I’m an idiot and I apologize
Hey, but at least he was giving away free bjj seminars for room and board. 🤷🏼♂️
He’s the last guy that needs to be anywhere near an academy in his current mental state.
Watching him over the last few months has been hilarious and brilliant. He won’t accept personal responsibility for anything and his entire life and mind have collapsed because of it. It’s been brilliant to see because it’s so fascinating to see the consequences of a lack of personal responsibility and a left-wing attitude that blames everyone else for your problems while you destroy your life in every possible way.
Good grief glad you got some laughs over a persons mental illness. Really dude you need to get a new life.
@@CathyBilsky I can only imagine being the MOTHER of a son that I raised into an insane world of supernatural beliefs and then disowning and turning my back on my son when he goes insane (I saw the messages between you that Andrew posted) and then claiming to have moral superiority over a complete stranger that isn’t a part of my son’s life.
You do realise that as a parent of a child with severe mental disturbances, YOU AS THE PRIMARY CAREGIVER are literally the person most to blame, correct?
@@jordangill2710 Wow you have issues. I live in Hawaii dude. I flew to Mt Vernon and got him in a mental hospital which let him out so go focus on something that will make you happy . I am NOT his primary care giver and Andrew has made sure that won't happen. You do not know all Andrew has done so I forgive your attacks on me. You must really like Andrew...other than making fun of his mental illness which shows what great character you have.
He was far beyond the care of his mother before his mental health deteriorated. She wasn’t his caregiver.
Its escalated to both animal and elder abuse and the authorities should be made to intervene
Adderall...
Likely worse
Andrew even once called himself a black belt in bjj. 😂
Is he not?
I don’t understand this comment.
