Could you provide a description of what the classes look like? I recently moved to London and I’d like to join a BJJ gym. I only have a few months of experience at 3 different gyms. However, one thing that I noticed about BJJ classes is that they tend to be highly inefficient and essentially do not incorporate the proper learning science and ways to get good quickly. I don’t want to practice a technique for 3 minutes and then move on and not see it again for months. The lack of drilling to really nail down techniques is annoying. If you look at wrestling, they are drilling over and over again instead of rolling as soon as possible. BJJ classes tend to be unsystematic (I know there are some good ones, but it’s just what I’ve personally noticed and heard from other people online), there’s very little connection between techniques and it doesn’t set itself up to allow for maximized progression based on what each individual needs. Anyways, I’m hoping to go to a gym that fits my philosophy and allows for some time for students to dedicate time drilling specific situations based on what they believe to be lacking in their game. Would also be great allow for reflection on what went wrong and so that you can then re-drill to try to create feedback loops on your skills. Can I go in outside of class and practice with a training partner so that we can drill and keep the training more fluid based on what will help us progress faster?
