The bjj people have a big matted room to roll around in. And it's awesome, except for the fact that half of the room needs new mats. They have not aged well after months(years?) of being used, coupled with some water damage from the dialysis clinic upstairs. That's really the only part of the gym that obviously needs work. I asked Mr. Gym Owner why we didn't get new mats. He responded, "Zebra mats are expensive. I want to spend money on other things. I don't care enough about bjj or the people who do it." Ok. That's not exactly what he said, but that's what it boils down to. He wants to put money elsewhere, which is stupid, but he is Mr. Gym Owner so he gets to make those decisions. Alas, I will continue on dreaming of the day when those crusty, frayed, water-stained mats are replaced.
This is what the bjj room should look like: This is what it currently looks like*:
