"it is very important that you figure out what the culture of your club is, especially if you’re just starting to train Brazilian jiu-jitsu, OR if you’re switching from one BJJ club to another, OR if you’re coming from a traditional martial art."
This is so true. I was amazedand a little bit worried about the lack of dicipline and the slack at the club I started to train at.
No "yes sir", no hierarchy. No rules for entering the gym, the mat or for when leaving the gym.

Its great actually
