I've
trained
at
Vital
for
the
past
3
and
half
years
doing
just
BJJ,
and
it
has
been
one
of
the
best
experiences
of
my
life,
by
far.
The
first
time
I
walked
in
back
in
2019,
I
asked
the
gym
owner
how
long
he
recommends
I
sign
up
for.
Now,
in
most
instances,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
gym
owners
who
would
say
"you
should
sign
up
for
3
months,
or
6!
You
need
to
commit
if
you're
going
to
be
serious
about
this!"
None
of
that
happened.
Instead,
he
told
me
"sign
up
for
our
3
day
trial.
You
*really*
should
see
if
this
fits
into
your
schedule
before
you
make
that
commitment".
And
thank
God
he
said
that...
At
that
time,
my
wife
and
I
were
not
in
a
position
for
me
to
be
going
to
the
gym
often
enough
to
get
my
moneys'
worth
out
of
it.
He
didn't
try
to
sell
me
on
it,
and
the
owner
didn't
try
to
lock
me
into
some
shady
pricing
to
get
me
to
stay.
When
my
life
was
in
a
more
stable
place
a
year
later
in
2020,
I
came
right
back.
Kyle,
the
gym
owner,
has
really
created
an
awesome
gym
culture
that
is
focused
on
being
welcoming
towards
everyone,
and
training
hard.
There
hasn't
been
anyone
I've
trained
with
that
I
wouldn't
hang
out
with
outside
of
the
gym,
and
we
often
do.
We
all
clean
the
mats
after
every
practice
and
maintain
a
clean
environment.
I
didn't
grow
up
doing
martial
arts,
so
I
wasn't
sure
what
to
expect.
This
is
not
a
"YES
SENSEI!!!"
type
gym,
you
just
call
him
"coach"
or
just
"Kyle".
It's
hard
to
describe
how
chill
of
an
atmosphere
everyone
creates
here.
I
don't
think
I
would
stick
around
long
if
the
overall
attitude
was
hyper-serious
all
the
time.
The
sport
is
hard
enough
that
you
get
humbled
and
disciplined
just
by
training.
It's
a
fantastic
group
of
people
to
train
with,
and
an
even
better
group
of
friends
to
hang
out
with.
Bladden,
one
of
the
black
belt
instructors,
has
really
hammered
out
the
details
of
getting
a
robust
"fundamentals
of
Jiu
Jitsu"
program
going,
with
a
fleshed
out
curriculum
that
rotates
throughout
the
year
that
will
get
every
beginner
up
to
speed
on
what
they
need
to
know
to
be
competitive,
or
defend
themselves.
I'm
a
pretty
small
dude
at
5'3",
so
safety
is
always
a
priority
of
mine,
and
it's
one
that
this
gym
helps
maintain
in
their
training
environment.
The
talk
of
Jiu
Jitsu
enabling
you
to
defeat
"bigger,
stronger,
more
aggressive
opponents"
is
absolutely
true.
I'd
tell
anyone,
regardless
of
age
or
sex
to
come
in
and
at
least
see
what
the
atmosphere
of
the
gym
is
like.
