The assistant coach at my gym just opened up his own gym. I trained his classes primarily so I switched schools.

Kinda put me in a weird spot after being there for 3 years, had a tough time telling professor I was leaving :mjcry:

what's so special about this new guy
I’ve just trained with him 90% of the time, so I felt like my loyalty was more etched with him than the gym itself.

He seems much more passionate about the sport (trains/teaches everyday), whereas the other professor frequently goes on vacations and has subs a lot of the time.

I kind of wish certain GI colors were more normalized throughout traditional schools (I get that it's gaudy to have an over-the-top design or neon colors though).

The look of maroon/burgundy GIs and tan/sand GIs is pretty nice to me. I'll probably get an off-white one at some point, only quality one I've seen available is from Sanabul (might cop if any discounts pop up).

A lot of gyms only allow white/blue/black (IBJJF standard) or only let you wear school-branded gear.

My current gym doesn’t care, moreso speaking in general since I attended one in the past that had strict codes.
