I hope a long response isn't frowned upon. It happens that I have a good bit of experience with BJJ. I bumped into some of the same issues you mention. They are not uncommon overall but a few things stood out to me and I put together an idea in my head so I decided to ask a few questions. First let me be clear, if you are happy having moved on then I am happy for you I am not trying to change your mind. But I do have some curiosity, you mentioned being hurt a lot. Minor injuries are common of course as it is a combat sport but frequent injuries that require you to take time off of work is certainly not the norm! So that brings up some concerns about the school itself. I also notice in the pictures you shared, the highest ranking person I saw was I believe a Blue Belt. Is the school fairly new? What rank was the instructor? If the school is putting out injuries and has relatively little in the way of upper belt students to help the new people out I think the fees are much too high. Especially the 2400 quote that is higher then what students at the school I train at pay and we have Black Belt instruction every day. There are almost always a few Black Belts to train with as well. If the school you were attending is taught by a Blu or Purple, or even a Black belt that is only there part of the time....and they are looking for those prices...AND they are putting out injuries at a high rate. I think you might have experienced a bad school. I can of course be mistaken I was not there. But I have seen/heard of schools that fit what I am picturing based on what I have read from your post.
