Then he should try a few gyms he is considering and go with the one we’re the vibe is best. This I feel is the most important aspect. He should find a place we’re the environment and people are the kind of people he wants to be around. You could have a powerhouse of a BJJ gym and the vibe and people suck. It really is a personal choice one you have whittled down the places and are considering only the quality places that check out.
