OCD ?! ... don't do bjj ... rather go home and turn your oven off

Calling all bjj dudes over 40 (men or women) do you want to help me spread the word of the game changer for your life that is bjj? If so please email me at mydadmissions@gmail.com I'm running out of content ideas so could really do with your help 😂😂

18 months to blue belt. That's a bit quick yeah?

Any purple,brown or black belts have any tips they would give to their blue belt self?

Have you recently become a bjj blue belt and if so how's it all going? Let me know in the comments. James

I think training splits will greatly depend on your age and what kind of shape you are in. If it helps I am 50 and my current split is Jiu-Jitsu Monday, Wednesday and Saturday with weight training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I find that I get plenty of cardio during class and live rolling. Weight training is a great way to help strengthen your body and to improve your resistance to injury. If I was younger I would probably try to lift weights 3 days or more per week. Jiu-Jitsu is a long term effort and the more you can do to prevent injury the better off you will be. It is good to focus on the technique but I would not disregard the other aspects. Strength, speed, endurance, etc... are all part of it just like any other sport and relying on any one aspect will do you a disservice imo. If the playing field is level when it comes to technique you will then need to rely on other attributes like strength, disregard this at your own peril. Being a very large and strong individual I was told to "stop using your strength" many times and the statement always perplexed me. One day I researched this and came across this article which opened my eyes on the subject and gave me a perspective I agreed with. www.bjjstrongonline.com/blog/Don%E2%80%99t%20Use%20Your%20Strength%20in%20BJJ%20is%20TERRIBLE%20Advice#:~:text=Why%20Is%20Strength%20Frowned%20On,rely%20on%20your%20strength... "I do believe that when two athletes are of matched skill level, the stronger man will generally win." - John Danaher I hope some of this helps those that read it!

Another thing you can do, especially as you get older, is to have a proper warmup including dynamic stretching prior to rolling. You should save your static stretching for afterwards as it can temporarily decrease muscle power and performance by inhibiting the nervous system's ability to quickly activate muscles, potentially leading to a reduced ability to generate explosive force needed for many activities, making your workout less effective

Do you train BJJ and if so have you ever had an injury? If you have how did you overcome it

This guy is AI

Always a great reminder... what is the recommendation on the training split between rolling days and HIIT/Lift days?

Starting the year off strong! Keep up the great content ✅

Are you a bjj practitioner over 40 who's signed up to compete in 2025?

I do this every day and it's really helped my BJJ and mental health. ruclips.net/video/UEEsdXn8oG8/видео.htmlsi=8ldVhu9KmBt1fKlO

Is there a fitness or conditioning activity that helps to keep you on the mats if so comment here

If you train bjj and might be up for a 10 minute zoom in 2025 please comment or email mydadmissions@gmail.com

I used to keep a log however the best advice I ever received was to not ever think about what you did wrong, always leave thinking about what you did right. This cements the successes and not the failures.

Best advice: Don't start at all unless you want injuries that last a long time - Hyper extended elbows; dislocated shoulders; neck cracks that injury your spine. And for what? Are you going out a pick fights and get arrested.

this was fantastic, really needed to hear these 👏🙌

Congratulations on the Brown belt!

I think it is like fighters who have been knocked out too many times. At a certain point your ability to sustain damage drops off a cliff. It always reminds me of what happened to Chuck Liddell.

Do you have a BJJ question you want me to try and answer? Stick it in the comments ❤

EXACTLY same problem in US. They are banning abortions but if they really want people to have more children, make it more affordable! Healthcare 4kids, chdcare, maternity/paternity leave.... FIX PROBLEMS! They didn't address 1 obstscle!

Well done, thank you!

Torn miniscus six weeks in. Sore neck and elbows. Not great..

Well done brother! Solid advice!

I am in my 40s. I recently started started kickboxing. I've thought about BJJ but the awkwardness of rolling with strangers in a coed class keeps me from doing it.

Great advice mate. I’m a music teacher who trained a lot through to my mid 20s. After loosing my brother (and nearly my mind) a year ago i started training regularly again at 44 with a great academy. Can’t recommend anything better.

Ah okay I've got it now. He's a stunt performer and was working on the game of thrones filming in Belfast Northern Ireland and started at Conor Mcgregor's gym SPG not sure what it stands for

Good point at the end, I think the difference between lower belts and higher belts is the amount of things they do without thinking.

Thanks Jason, you and me both mate 😂

I have always been a fan of the bow and arrow choke, what about you?

Solid advice, I could have used this when I was younger lol

Is straight blast an homage to Bruce Lee? I don't think I have ever heard that term other than when I was training JKD.

Great video! It was really cool to hear I wasn't the only one who have these issue/feelings! Thank you!

Love the dad joke lol
