Can programming be learned like BJJ? Everyday, we just go to the classroom and the instructor(black belt in programming) simply gives a small demo about some practical problems and offer solutions. Then students start to hack.

I've tried to learn coding and struggle to focus, with jiu jitsu the kinesthetic element keeps me engaged easily. Haven't entirely given up on the former, though a coach/ instructor that's not YouTube would be nice
One problem is that programming is mostly not interests based because it’s a high paid job so that 95% programmers I know don’t give a shit and the culture of excellence is vastly lost in the programming culture. BJJ on the other hand, won’t let any bad practitioners made a dime so that the culture celebrates excellence.
