You guys are absolutely right, however if you are near a good school, I would still recommend going to that school once a week even if you cannot commit to more days. Reason being, is it is better to learn something rather than nothing. More often than not you will get an opportunity in the future to visit that good gym or another good gym more times during the week. You may be able to supplement your learning with friends and family. For example, you may be that guy (there is always that guy) with the huge garage. You can buy some mats and train technique in between sessions.

@@biashacker good point, better something than nothing for sure!

woooo

So many gyms in my area, MD, only offer ONE day trial. I think ONE day is crazy…. But they seem like good reputable gyms. But almost all are ONE day trial…. What can you get from a gym in just one day? What do you guys think about that? Most Baltimore County MD gyms have ONE day trials..

@@nmr20067 that’s really weird. I’m not sure, it could be that they all just set a trend and then copied each other. To be honest, most people who own gyms are not great business owners in terms of understanding marketing and growing their business lol. I agree it would be really hard to find out if the gym is right for you in that short of a time frame. Maybe it would be ok if you could just pay month to month and give them one paid month to try it out.

@@EKMartialArts-io3fiYeah. And that’s the strictly BJJ gyms to be exact.. Now the MMA gyms seem to offer 7 day trials - most of them. Gracie University - Rener and Ryon Gracie affiliates offer 30 days.. But if I think about it, it is the smaller BJJ gyms that offer ONE day. And you’re right, maybe the smaller BJJ gyms are competing with each other… but one day is a joke..
