    I can’t believe the prices of some of these places. I remember paying $40 a month.
    Still better than a “lifting” gym. What you learn at bjj you get to keep forever!

    I pay 110 per month. Unlimited.
    BJJ, MMA, boxing, kickboxing.
    All I can handle. And I take advantage of the weight room before I train.

    What kind of Gi’s have y’all had the most luck with??
    I used Atama for years but they did me dirty one time so I won’t buy from them anymore..
    MY favorite now is a Fuji. I Try to be frugal and not spend too too much. But I like nice stuff.
    What about you guys??

    I really like the hayabusa.

    Moya and Inverted Gear. Moya's are a bit more pricey but they fit me perfectly. BJJHQ always has gi's for super cheap

    also rash guards I can't find any that last as long as under armour but I hate how much they cost. I think I might be a cheapskate lol.

    Try the Tesla ones on Amazon. I have their spats and rashguards and really like them. Super cheap and haven't fallen apart yet

    I pay $135/mo for 2 BJJ classes per week. Also signed up for a block of 10 private lessons from a brown belt for $650.

    Right now I’m also doing Judo 2x a week. They don’t charge for Judo, i think the instructor is volunteering.

    Last night at class we drilled a sweep from the bottom of the guard that’s good to chain to a Kimira armlock attempt that fails. What have y’all trained this week?

    I've been teaching lots of crucifix entries and finishes last couple weeks. It's fun to play with!

    Are you all working self defense bjj?
    I’ve seen lots of schools ignoring the self defense aspect. It worries me, I hope you all train it and are passing it on!
