Should I Leave my Current BJJ Gym to Train with John Danaher ?

In today’s video I got a question from a young White Belt about whether or not he should up and leave their gym, move away from their hometown to train Jiu-jitsu with John Danaher or Andre Galvao or a similar big name team in order to be an elite level BJJ competitor.

To help out, I share a story from a recent Chewjitsu podcast episode we did with multiple time World Champion (and elite level BJJ competitor) Bernardo Faria where he talked about his start in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Early on he was training in a small town without any famous Black Belts and then eventually won the Purple Belt World Championships. Following that he moved to Alliance and began training with a big name gym.

But it was during the time at the smaller gym that he really developed that love and passion for Brazilian Jiujitsu and training. So in today’s video I share that idea with our young friend.

To develop the passion for BJJ training 1st and consider maybe moving later on should he decide it’s right. But as I talk about in the video. I’d advise against it early on because the look of success can be deceptive. Many people think they want it, but don’t realize what really entails.

Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.
