BJJ Poll: Has the Economic Downturn Affected Your Ability to Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
May 2, 2009
The world is currently undergoing a global economic downturn. (Don’t come to our site for breaking financial news!) Some call it a crisis, as the word “depression” is taboo. Whatever you call it, many people have less financial resources than they did before, affecting people’s ability to pay for the basics like food, water, and jiu-jitsu.
Has the current state of the global economy affected your ability to train BJJ? Have you had to scale back your training or drop it altogether until you’ve got more money? Vote in our poll and let us know in the comments below!

if anything, i have more free time now to devote to training since i am “working less”
It hasn’t affected my training at all because that’s a priority in my life but something’s gotta give so I’ve decided to forgo tournaments for a while until I pay off most of my bills.
It hasn’t affected my training or teaching per say. The only affect it has had on me is my inability to compete in as many tournaments as I did last year. We’re almost through half the year and I’ve only been able to compete in 1 tournament!
It has affected some of my students. Some have to work more to pay the bills which are taking up their time to train.
