Dropped Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after 13 months — honest about why

I trained Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 13 months and then stopped. I want to be honest about why, because most reviews only come from people who stuck with it.

finding a reputable Gracie lineage gym was a bigger issue for me than I anticipated. My gym also had a culture problem — a few people had developed an ego around their stripe promotions knowledge that made sessions uncomfortable. The sport itself isn't the issue. The De La Riva guard is genuinely interesting and first competition experience is real. I'm open to going back to a different gym. The sport deserves a better environment than I found.
