😂 Okay… now that I got your attention…
Your BJJ school should feel like your second home.
You should feel comfortable there. You should connect with the values, the culture, the teaching style, the coaches, and the people around you.
Jiu-Jitsu already asks a lot from us. Time, effort, discipline, consistency, sore muscles, frustrating days, injuries, and plenty of humility. Going to class should be something that adds to your life, not something that makes your life unnecessarily harder.
Distance matters too.
If getting to your school becomes a constant battle with traffic, family responsibilities, work, or your schedule, eventually even someone who loves Jiu-Jitsu may stop training altogether.
And that is the part that matters most.
Over time, BJJ creates strong bonds. With your professor, your teammates, your school, and your community. Those relationships are real, and they deserve respect.
But changing schools is not automatically disrespectful or wrong.
Sometimes life changes. Your schedule changes. You move. Your goals change. The environment may no longer be the right fit. Maybe another school is closer, offers a schedule that works better, or simply aligns better with what you need at that point in your life.
The goal should always be to keep Jiu-Jitsu in your life.
So if your current school no longer meets your needs, don’t quit BJJ just because you feel guilty about training somewhere else.
Find a place where you feel welcome, where you believe in the people and the methodology, where you can train consistently, and where going to class still feels like something you look forward to.
Respect where you came from. Be grateful for the people who helped you along the way.
But most importantly…
Keep training. ❤️🥋
And yes… I’m still watching whoever swiped to the second slide. 👀😂
