What I Really Think About Loyalty in BJJ (Comment Follow Up)

This video is a reply to the BJJ gym loyalty video I did last week.

Here is the original video: https://youtu.be/EdnZDiHCeeE

I’m doing this video because I think I did a poor job of explaining myself in the previous video.

So in this follow up video I dive deeper into what I mean by BJJ gym loyalty and what I think loyalty really means.

In my eyes, it’s often a conditional and reciprocal thing of mutual support. Not blindness that gives excessive power or trust to one side of it.

So I hope you enjoy the video and I hope that it makes better sense in the video.

Should You Be Loyal to ONLY 1 BJJ Gym?

Gary Berger — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 20:12:54 +0000

Got a question about loyalty to a BJJ gym.

Today’s question is from Ethan who is getting ready to start training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he is wondering if he should should at only 1 gym or if he can train at multiple gyms.

In this video I approach the question from the angle of the fact that the relationship you have with your coach is similar to any relationship. Yes there is a monetary element there. But at the same time, we often become close to our coaches as teachers, mentors, etc.

I know that for me. My BJJ coaches have helped me in far more ways than just my Brazilian Jiujitsu rolling or competitions.

And as a coach I hope to do the same for my students. But I can tell you that if I saw someone who was 1 foot in 1 foot out of the gym. I wouldn’t go out of way to bring them into my fold.

Because just like a relationship with a significant other or maybe a friend. If you don’t feel like they are “all in” then you’re probably not going to be either.

So if you’re in a situation like this. I would ultimately try out both gyms then settle on 1 to be your home gym. I mean you can still train elsewhere here and there. But it’s your home base. And it allows you to grow roots with people and have relationships that benefit you far beyond just BJJ training.
