      I'm 38 and started two years ago. The best thing I've ever done. I know I'm not that old compared with some of you, but I remembered a conversation with a friend that His only regret was not starting earlier... (He is 21 years old and started a year ago) So, my point is... Unless you started Bjj at 6 to 10 years old, you are going to wish you would have started earlier.

Come April 15th I'm exercising 5 times a week again as usual. Whatever it takes we just have to push ourselves and go. I'm 42 now but I want to be just like this guy if I live to that age.
