  • This was a classic youth vs age match-up. We met in the absolute division, where our contrasting styles clashed.
    This narrated roll took place in October 2017. I was a purple belt at the time.

      thats one tuff kid, but he was running out of tricks at the end of it, you would have had him if ya had more time, you paced yourself better, us old guys build up momentum slowly, young guys have it out of the gate but lose it fast if they dont pace themselves, you need a rematch and for gods sake dont wait tell hes 18 lol

      I'm 54, same here, except now I'm injured and have been over the last year with the most serious being some disc bulge and herniation problems. I can say, if/when I am able to return to the mats, I think I have to slow down. I train and roll more than the guys half my age and I think I have to start to realize my body just can't take that pace anymore. Maybe some more drilling and flow rolling in place of the intense multi-hour roll session 3 times a week.

    Great match and great breakdown. I recently started Jiu Jitsu in my mid 40's and injuries are tough sometimes because my mind doesn't know my body has slowed down and I don't recover like I used to till a few hours later. You did great and so did he. My son is 11 years old and has been doing Jiu Jitsu for 6 years so at 15 years old he will be a blue belt and doing it for 10 years. So I am betting this kid has 10 years in the game.

Some slice through opponents and others get a rude awakening. Although he won on points, you gave him a lot to think about in the end. 🤙🏾

      Great points. This is why I don't go easy on the younger generation at tournaments. They usually know what they're in for from adults and higher belts, and who knows how much time they've put in on the mats already. There are green belts who are able to tap black belts! When it comes to the younger generations, the belt doesn't necessarily mean what it should. A new blue belt can now have 10+ years of training and black belt level skills.

    You hesitated too much. You never really controlled him. You always let him set up on you... He was toying with you because you let him... It seems that you were always in defense: His moves surprised you. You are bigger than him so you should have dominated him, but it was the other way around. In your home gym make sure you are rolling with upper and lower belts. Allow yourself to be dominated so you can get used to mounting a rapid and successful defense... Then work on your attacks... Also, do some outside cardio... 1-2x per week...
