And you may get frustrated if you're in a gym that's really competition based and you're like, well, I want to do MMA or I want to. you know, really work on self-defense or I'm a law enforcement officer. You can always tool your own jujitsu to what you're interested in. But if the curriculum is all based around that, the first two years can be difficult.

So just, yeah, consider the proximity goals. And then, you know, the community piece is huge. And those three things are kind of almost equally important, I find, in keeping a student around. And so watch a class first or have the kid do a practice class. Make sure there's enough instructors to students if it's a massive class and they don't have enough helpers there.

It's not as safe and it's difficult to learn. We have a lot of students that help us. I have teens and junior students that. are working on their coaching and I let them teach little sections of the class. They lead warmups. It's just more eyes on the mat. And I have usually some adult helpers too.

And I try to keep it, especially for the four and five-year-olds, one instructor for every four to five kids would be a max. I do not like to go over that because they're just sometimes do crazy stuff. So you need a lot of eyes on the mat.

Yes. Helicopter ride. Yeah. So I guess I was a little more nervous than I realized. I was kind of avoiding it unconsciously because when we actually got there, I was like, oh, I'm a little more nervous than I thought. I've only ridden in one. I was in the back.

Yeah. So many helicopter rides. And I was at the back. One of the times I made a mistake and I was sitting backwards, that was not my favorite. But it was only, you know, maybe a 15-minute ride out to Backcountry Ski Lodge. I didn't even know if it was that long. That was quick. Out to Bald Face. Yeah, that was awesome. But really, really – it was cool.

But, you know, we had a little training video. And I used to work for the Forest Service. And every once in a while, you know, the fire helicopters just crash. So I know that, you know. And – So I had that in mind, and then we get in this helicopter, and the whole front is glass, and it's just small compared to the other one we'd been in. So I trust you completely. The helicopter, however—
