Ep. 295: Organizing Knowledge, feat. Sebastian Brosche
BJJ Mental Models
The Reasons People Quit Jiu-Jitsu
A staggering 90% of individuals quit Jiu-Jitsu during their trial period or before earning their first stripe, highlighting a significant drop-out rate commonly seen in the industry. Effective organization and strategy employed by certain schools play a crucial role in improving retention rates. The 'white belt curse' is largely driven by fear and shame; individuals often fear injuries that could affect their daily lives and feel shame about being newcomers, which discourages them from attending classes. Many potential practitioners experience anxiety about wasting an instructor’s time and fear being perceived as incompetent compared to their peers. To retain students, it is vital to engage them emotionally and make them feel valued in classes. Additionally, unrealistic expectations can lead to disappointment, and poor hygiene, such as dirty mats, can deter individuals from returning. It's suggested that around 50% of quit reasons are manageable issues that can be addressed effectively to enhance retention and foster a more welcoming environment for newcomers.
