Why do some people get better faster in Brazilian jiu-jitsu?
There are so many factors. Natural aptitude would obviously play a part, but lifestyle also has its effects.

A person who is tired after a long day at work probably also isn’t going to learn as much as someone who is energetic and ready to learn.
