![]() With a regular BJJ class lasting one and a half to two hours, this means that you’ll have to allocate a good chunk of time to training. In order to learn things and feel progress, you will need to train regularly, at least two times a week, preferably three or more. If you’re only able to make it to class once every few weeks, a gym membership will be an expensive luxury, and you will likely not make much progress. Time, Time, Timeīrazilian Jiu Jitsu requires time. I can, however, share my experience as to the different reasons that have led people I know to consider quitting BJJ, and, on occasion, go through with it. To be completely honest, I won’t try to go into every possible reason why somebody has quit BJJ – that is an impossible task.

While we often joke that BJJ is a cult, the reality is that if you decide it’s your time to move on, that decision is OK! But, before you go, read this and sleep on it. Regardless of why you’re thinking of quitting, slowing down and considering the decision from a different perspective is the smartest choice you can make. Maybe you’re tired of losing, tired of injury, or tired of the drama at your gym. There comes a time in everyone’s BJJ journey where quitting seems like the best choice. 1.4 Still Wanna Quit?
