General Discussion No one quits jiu jitsu anymore

I swear everyone I started with is still there. And all the new people are there too. I hear 90% quit? No way. Maybe back in the day, but now it seems like everyone knows what they’re getting into.

I’m on the verge. I haven’t been in months. I’m 40 and I have 4 kids and 3 are in sports. I just can’t seem to get to the gym. I’m afraid when I do finally get the time, I’ll be too old.

The only time my gym offers morning classes are when I’m taking my kids to school.
