Progress Stifled by Overemphasis on Competition
I walked into Bellingham BJJ with high hopes, eager to dive into the world of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The intro class seemed like the perfect place to start, but what I found was a culture that prioritizes competition over personal growth. Don't get me wrong, the instructors are knowledgeable and the facilities are top-notch, but the constant push to participate in competitions and the emphasis on belt progression made me feel like I was just a cog in a machine. The Gi to Sea Festival, which sounded intriguing at first, ended up being more of a showcase for the academy's competitive team rather than an inclusive event for all members. I felt lost in the sea of more experienced practitioners, and the focus on winning took away from the joy of learning. For a beginner like myself, the experience was overwhelming and discouraging. I ended up leaving after the intro class, feeling like I didn't fit into their competitive mold. If you're looking for a supportive environment that focuses on personal growth and technique over competition, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. Maybe Bellingham BJJ is perfect for those with a competitive streak, but for me, it was a disappointment.
