All the cool people I like at the BJJ academy I train at are starting to leave for other gyms. We’ve lost our two best black belts over the weekend, guys who have been there for damn near 15 years.
Bums me out because those dudes are like family to me and the gym is starting to feel like a sinking ship. People are feeling it too, less and less people are showing up due to lack of motivation or simply dropping in at other places.
Had the same feeling when I was sponsored by a shop, only to have a bunch of my friends quit and go ride for the competition, it’s a shitty feeling.
