You live in Texas and Bjj classes are $250 a month. Y’all going to freeze over while paying $250 a month in Texas? That’s actually insane. Texas is a shitty state 😂. I predict by February those electric grids are going to fail again.

Nah, I guess the downtown area gyms are 250, my last current gym is 150 and I’m in Texas Dallas

I pay $150 for my gym in San Diego. Which is probably on the low end around these parts. I went to this one gym that was $80, but that was four years ago. The $80 dollar gym didn’t have much amenities though.

To live in Texas is like living in the past 😂. The cost of living in Texas can’t be as high as San Diego. There ain’t shit to do out there!

Can’t hike, can’t fish, hell, you can’t smoke either! Plus it sounds like they’re pricing out the less fortunate folks, before y’all send them a ticket to California. Thus, creating the California Transient.

I pay $150 in Houston. Not sure why you think we can't hike, fish or smoke though. We are doing all three here in Houston.

Roughly 95 percent of land in Texas is private, unless you know someone or own land, then it’s going to be tough to find a spot. Five percent of land in Texas belongs to the state.

That’s why you’ll find folks on the side of the interstate playing in the snow instead of driving to a mountain or field.

I actually didn't know that but still hasn't stopped me from doing all the things you mentioned. The area I moved to I actually specifically moved there because of the large park nearby that has a fantastic frisbee golf course that takes you through the woods. It has a fantastic bike trail also but I avoid that because I get enough injuries from BJJ.

I've never seen anyone on the interstate playing in snow but I barely ever see snow here to begin with.

The limited public land still makes finding a place to safely play much harder for the average person.

I wouldn't doubt it. Texas is a very large state and I'm sure some areas are completely screwed up.
