Your Social Circle Determines Your Success

Do you have a BJJ Best Friend? Maybe a small band of rebels working to defeat the higher belts? If you are new to Jiu-Jitsu and have yet to make good connections- this is your call to action. The chances of your long term enjoyment and success in BJJ have a lot to do with your Social group at the gym. Though BJJ attracts a lot of eccentrics, weirdos and socially awkward characters, it also brings together many warm and caring folks. The Bulletproof boys discuss "Dunbar's number" and how this recurring social phenomena can help you if you understand it.
You are the 5 people you spend your most time with- at BJJ. It is worth making the effort to make friends at your academy as they will have as much impact on your BJJ as your coach. This discussion goes bigger to address the question of why a certain club size is perfect and why we as humans fall into cliques and groups as effective problem solving units. This is your call to action to start your BJJ squad!

Even before I step on the mat, I know who's going to roll with me and who isn't. I've been throwing UFC parties and growing the brotherhood. I tend to be more social than most and it seems to be appreciated. Many of the guys want friends but need someone to take the initiative.

You could talk about recovering from a dislocated shoulder. That's what I'm going through right now. It came out from a fall and it was put back right away by a doctor. I go to class still but I haven't trained in a month.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

We will definitely cover this topic! I hope you feel better soon.

This can't be true. I hate 10 planet and go to a regular gi gym full of middle class people but I'm still a druggie loser.

If you are anything its your self perception my guy.

The Dunbar number is a range not a specific number. Pretty great paper so I'd just go read it.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

In interview he mentions specific numbers and mentions more than the original study. JT has looked at it.
