I think judo lessons are cheaper because the Gracies are not involved
probably true, i feel like with judo it would also be easier to find a decent level of instruction, whereas with BJJ, who knows.
i had this problem with muay Thai and kickboxing in the past where i only realised all my previous instruction was hot garbage after switching places a few times. a bit like switching from shitcoins to btc and then regretting the mistakes and wasted money
With Muay Thai, the instructor has to be from Thailand
correct, although the Dutch school of kick boxing / muay Thai is pretty great.
Exactly, the Netherlands has a great tradition in kickboxing with great fighters like Semmy Schilt, Peter Aerts, Ernesto Hoost (my favorite) and many others. I miss K-1 tournaments in Japan
I live in a village of twelve-hundred. We have to go an hour-plus to the nearest city (of like 20k) for it.
Proof of work (or at least commitment, lol!)
in my case, it's commitment. all martial arts classes in my nearest city start at like 6.30pm, i get home from the school run at 5.30 and the thought of then driving back out for like an hour to train, then come home and get the kids to bed is never going to happen lol
in my childless days in Moscow i did used to regularly travel an hour plus to the gym in the morning though
If and when I have kids, I might see things differently.
man i would absolutely love to do judo or BJJ, unfortunately, i know live too far away from the city to make any classes
