Summary

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy answers a question from a fan who enjoys training at his gym, but has different beliefs than some of his training partners and is trying to decide if he should go back to his current gym or find a new one.

We also discuss Jiu-Jitsu being a “social glue,” the importance of BJJ in creating a community, the benefit of listening to others with different beliefs, and building respect for each other through training BJJ.

Eugene and I are going to talk about a question.

0:04.0

I've been getting a bunch from people where, you know, with the sort of landscape that's going on.

0:10.1

Again, because a lot of people, these questions are coming from are from people that are not in their gyms yet because the lockdown and everything has had them to where they still can't go to their gym.

0:19.7

And so based upon mostly what's coming through social media with different beliefs and

things like that as we'll talk about it and we get into it, they're basically wanting to know

if they need to leave their gym.
