Episode 186 - The Importance of Gym Culture

On this episode, we discuss gym culture and its impact on Jiu-Jitsu, training, and life in general.

We discuss how the gym culture at Chewy’s gym has evolved and changed over the years, traditional gym environment vs. a relaxed gym environment, the values that we set for our gym, unwritten rules, how your actions reflect what you say, shaping students through gym culture, being a product of your environment, the most important aspect of finding a gym, ineffective self-defense techniques, why people come back from long breaks from Jiu-Jitsu, allowing your own Jiu-Jitsu experience to happen, and using wrestling for self-defense.
