The Chewjitsu Podcast

Choosing The Right Gym For You (Self-Defense vs. Sport) (Episode 377)


Listen Later

On this episode we answer a question from an anonymous podcast listener.

“Bob” wrestled in high school and is currently a member at a self-defense gym, but has been cross-training at a Sport/Competition gym and really liking it. “Bob” is wondering if he should switch gyms if he wants to become a successful competitor.

We discuss why wrestlers prefer Sport Jiu-Jitsu, why martial arts and fighting is like a language, how creating limitations and rules can lead to creativity, if the best athletes in Jiu-Jitsu are competitors, how Chewy picked his first gym and why he left his first gym, the challenges of splitting time between two BJJ gyms, and what decision "Bob" should make about where to train.
