What To Do when Friends are Destructive to Your BJJ Training

Has Brazilian Jiu-jitsu impacted you in a positive way? Have you ever had old friends drag you down in a negative way?

This is the kind of issue Dennis is having for today’s BJJ question.

Basically Dennis used to have substance abuse issues. And since he started doing Brazilian Jiujitsu. The training has provided a positive outlet in his life where he doesn’t need to use drugs or anything like that.

This is great right?

Well the issue is that his old friends that still use drugs have a habit of calling him up to hang out. Whenever they hang out they always end up doing drugs or eating terrible food.

Most recently Dennis had to call off a BJJ training session because he was too messed up to make it.

His question to me is if I’ve ever had any friends like this where I required separation and how I dealt with it.

In this video I share about how my best friend as a young guy was a drug addict but how I had to separate from him to go my own way.
