Does where you train really matter?
if you're trying to be a professional full time reigning world champion i could see the argument of changing schools to be at AOJ or kingsway to make this happen. but let's say youre a competitor, you just want to push yourself and win a couple opens.
if you are dedicated to the lifestyle and compete a lot, how much does where you train actually impact on your results? i have this feeling that at an "average" school with a handful of good black belts and a training room with plenty of sizes and skill levels, it may not matter much.
has anyone quantified this? changed gyms and noticeably started winning more comps?
