Over 50 old guy here. I find that with light sequencing or drilling I can handle every other day. With any substantial rolling or stand-up sparring I need two days of recovery between sessions. When I was in HS wrestling I could handle four days of 2 hrs a day with one match every week. Time takes its toll.
Yeah I have a similar story. I try to vary my training. I go three times a week but try to get the most out of each session. Two muay thai and one bjj becasue im focusing on striking at the moment. On my days off I stretch, do light weights but not much. Also, when I get home after a session, i record myself doing one of the new techniques I learned so that I can go back over it in the future. I found this extremely helpful. Some guys learn a combo and never return to it. Even returning to it three or four times makes a huge difference I found and it doesent beat you up, you're only shadow boxing for 5 minutes on your days off.
Always grateful for the advice. Thank you.
Really enjoying the frequent posting ryan! Please keep it up 😁
Sage advice. Thank you professor
Black belt here and this is excellent advice. Great content.
Thanks! great response!
Am 64 and a three stripe purple belt .. I train two to three times a week depending on my work schedule .. I lift weights on my non jiu jitsu days to maintain strength and bone density .. I avoid death matches and focus on drilling and and light to medium rolls w/ training partners I can trust .. I avoid white belts due to the spastic moves they tend to make to avoid injuries when they are being over zealous in their efforts to “ win “ and tap a purple belt .. I have found in my life that weight training and training in activities like jiu jitsu & judo are the fountain of youth that people have been searching for for centuries..
thanks....good to know....'id like to never stop....so....show the way.....
How long did you train 2-3 days a week to come a purple belt sir?
@@AiMzMp : 2 yrs then 7 yrs to brown and was also cross training 2 days a week for judo ..
@@tribulationsurvivalist7466 Wow. You must be able to kick some arse!
Congrats on brown belt 👏. Im starting my BJJ journy soon. Wish me luck lol.
I’m 47, I just did 5 days in a row, and feel good, a tad sore, but I feel it’s over doing it. I think 3 is my set and if I feel better after 3 I’ll do a 4th. Have to listen to your body. Other than that, keep training everyone.
Hello professor Ryan:
Over 50 and new to BJJ(7 months in).
I totally agree with your advice. Just listen to ur body and go with the flow. I do 2 days a week and if my body saids rest I rest, but when I get a 2nd wind I go with it.
People enjoy the ride just like life in its self, play , roll, train, and keep it real.
I Quote “ Happy Training “.
Hi Ryan, love all your content!
Thank you!
Over 40 white belt here with 9 months in at 3-4 days per week on the mat. It's been a learning curve to say the least. I was trying to keep up with the 20 something crowd for the first few months. Hard rolls every day. I tried to match their energy. I was largely successful until I got injured. I've learned to manage things a little better with an emphasis on longevity. I still do 3-4 days a week and drill at the same pace as everyone else. Roll time is where I quit trying to keep pace with the kids.
awsome video, i am 35 years old i had 4 knee surgeries and a full time job, two super young kids, and have ben traing jiu jitsu off and on for a very long time. over the last two / half years i am very lucky to consistently train twice a week, and my jiu jitsu skills shot thru the roof. i train in the am class 6 to 7 tuesday and Thursday and i work out two other days a week. ( elliptical machine and light weights - I have a bad knee so im cautious with lifting weights ) The thing about two days week in the AM class, is that it is a very small class it almost feals like private training some mornings , and i can realy realy focus on and hone in on specific things. I look forward to training those days becasue im not able to be on the mats alot so my focus is strong to the teachings. I have ben thru alot in my jiu jitsu jurney. i was a white belt for almost 7 years. between knee surgries,having kids,switching jobs, and my old school not haveing enough class slots for me has kepet me on and off the mats thru the years. now a blue belt almost two years now and i dont take any matt time for grantded and im so thankfull for the morning classes / coach and class mates because with out them i would never be able to train. and believe me when i say my jiu jitsu has improved at only two days a week. its because of my focus, i realy try to obsurbe everything and i try realy hard to work on the teachings. also my school has very positive ahtomisphare where learning and growing is the main focus... I think two days a week is a minimum, how ever you need to be lazer focus on those twodays.. great video.. cheers
2-3 times a week for me and simple weight training at home 2-3 days ... ive got 3 kids, 1 of which is a teething baby and that's killing recovery as I rarely get a decent sleep.
Same situation with judo here. I feel you bro!
take care of yourself, first. then your family by giving them the best "up" time you can by getting adequate rest.
then, and only then, train.
training will always be there. your kids' baby lives fly by in a blink.
Just saw this video. Same situation here man. 38 years old, 2 young kids. 2-3 days a week is all i have time for, and about all my body can take!
@@clintmccabe6904 I hear ya! If I try and train more than that I get way to burnt out
Kama Jiu-Jitsu this is such great advice. That’s why I do lunch classes so I can sue day time with my little ones :)
I am 50 years old. I started jujitsu a year and a half ago. before that I did nothing for my entire life. I train six days a week. I wish I could train seven days a week. I’m actually contemplating purchasing mats and turning my basement into a jujitsu gym just for Sundays. So I guess you forgot one parameter. And that is how hard you train. Well. I train not very hard. I hardly ever ever go full power. I always warn my partners not to hurt me. Especially if my partner is a white belt beginner.
I'm 52. I love it. Glad you do yoo
Nice job
I’m 19 yrs old I train 3x a week and my body couldn’t handle it the first 4months it was tuff but now at around the 7th month my body can handle 3 sessions a week
then do 4.
You are 19, so you can recover easily from 5+ days a week. Wait until you are 35. Lol.
@@Neviksir Exactly. I'm a 37 year old blue belt and I went to 5 classes last week and felt like I got hit by a truck!
@@thomasorchard "GOOD" jocko willink
@@LC-in5or Dialed it back a little the past couple weeks to 4 classes per week... 2 classes per week, technique only and 2 classes per week, technique AND rolling. This seems to be a good balance for me that's sustainable and still challenging for the long term.
Im diggin the zero dislikes
Good video
Oh crap I was just thinking about this. Im about to enroll and can only train once a week
I do 3 a week and open mat on the Sunday
19 years old, started a year ago, started with 2 a week, now i at least do 3, for competitions i do at least 4 and shoot for 5, most times I've ever gone in a week is 6
Great video, thank you! I just committed to a year of BJJ and I'm 45, kids are grown. My goal is 3 times a week or every other day, just given how I recover to other activities like jump roping or strength training. Hopefully I can do more!
Do it!!!
Just turned 50. The past month I've been going 2x/week and lifting 3x/week. I feel more energetic and not so beat down, especially my joints. I seem to be more focused both days on the mats.
Thanks, Ryan. I left a sport bjj school for self-defense school. We practice some moves from judo as well. My previous experience was not so nice. Pushy young coach, who don't have a family and obligations overtrained me so much. Now I am at 'home' with a mature and wise coach. I feel good and have no regrets. The gym is dirtier but I don't care. This is where I feel that my fears and shitty thoughts will be treated properly.
you can always take it upon yourself to help clean the studio. your actions will spur others to join in. it's a "culture" thing.
3 is the magic number, for me anyway.
3 seems like the sweet spot for most trainees with a demanding job/family life. It's enough attendance that it's easy to remember the moves and still allows for good recovery between sessions.
I just started 3 months ago. Started to go everyday, super hard, body just can’t take the beating. I’m 39yold. I also need to go to the gym. Still trying to make it work. Definitely challenging to recover
2:55 “Nine days in a week”? 🤔
Thanks Prof. Dave for the great info. I train 5-6 days a week. Every night and then on Saturday. Each class is 1 hour long. Two nights a week where I train they have a 6pm class then a 7pm class so I technically I could train for 2 hours. I'm usually spent at the end of class. What are you thoughts, for example, training two hours by doubling class on Monday Wednesday then just taking 1-2 more 1 hour classes in the week? Is it better to train longer, or more often? I don't really have time issues, if anything I'm a bit older and have to watch my body. I've been training for 3 months.
SEVEN DAYS. 14-20 HOURS A WEEK.
Yes! My man!
I do pretty well with two days a week. I’m striving for three. Work and family responsibilities make it challenging.
Jiu-Jitsu will always be there. Family is much more important (as I’m seeing first hand with my son heading off to college).
Kama Jiu-Jitsu thank you for saying that and for all you do. 🙏
36 year old here and the wife trains too and she's 35. I would definitely agree with professor and say your training tempo depends on you.
We train 5 days a week. However, out of those 5 days, only 2 are hard sparring. The rest are either specific drilling or positional sparring, with Saturday being a comp class or high intensity drilling class. I also work out 3 days a week in the morning with HIIT or roadwork.
I am a firm believer in Firas Zahabi's quote that you should train "consistency over intensity". I think that is the only reason why the wife and I can handle BJJ this many times a week.
During our 2 sparring sessions, I may go super hard in spurts, but if my body is telling me something, I slow down or sit out a round.
I think there are several factors that determine (physically) if you can train more than twice a week, of course I can only comment about my personal experience.
1) what is your physicality starting BJJ. The wife and I were working out intensly before we started combat sports. We came in in good shape and our cardio was on point.
2) What are you doing outside of the gym to supplement your BJJ? Diet and exercise outside the gym I think really determines my tempo and recovery on the mat. And if I keep that in check, even at my age, I am training consistently with not many injuries.
3) Ego! If my body hurts and I can't roll full speed, I sit out, let the guy tap me or take my back or whatever. I don't grind through an injury and get more hurt to prove a point.
And ex-judo guy here also. The days that seem to really kill me though are the stand up or takedown/judo throwing days.
good stuff!
Thanks professor. Oh and the occasional yoga session helps. Love the videos and it's cool we are both from the Fort Worth area. Literally across town from Kama.
Not far at all.
I usually get in 6 to 7 hours in a week with 4 to 5 classes. I need repetition, kinda slow lol.
Ryan thank you for your honesty with all of your RUclips content. Its a breath of fresh air.
I do have a question however. When I started jujitsu in the late 90's it was all self defense and no sport. My little guy has been doing jujitsu for a little bit up until this pandemic, but my question is, is it dangerous for kids or for beginners to learn this sport side of jujitsu without learning or have a good self defense base of jujitsu? I worry about nad habits when or if they get into a self defense situation. Funny thing is I have brought this up to a couple of instructors but they kinda shrug it off..?
Thank you Ryan

I think this is a good topic for a future video. Lemme put it in the queue.
60 in June, chubby white belt at a Gracie JJ school. I usually do Mon, Wed, and Friday….sometimes open mat on Saturday.
I always feel kind of beat up but not injured.
Our classes are an hour and I try to roll a few times before heading back to work.
I am hoping to retire in a year, move to Mexico, and continue at a Renzo Gracie school there. Wondering if I might be able to do 5 days a week if not working.
Will I be a 70 year old black belt…who knows.
But I LOVE IT ! ….enjoying the journey !
We will 😃wait for you here in SLP, MEX.
3-4 for me.
41, 7 months of training. I do BJJ 2-3 times a week and muay thia once a week. But that's only if my body can take it. Sometimes after an intense class on wensday I have to skip Thursday. You need to.listen to your own body, my coach said you need to take time to heal, learning BJJ is a marathon not a sprint.
Yep you cant learn new everyday, 2 days or 3 is the best you want to learn the technics its hard to do if your doing 6 days a week
3 times is the max my gym has slots for my age group otherwise i would go more. Im thinking about starting their MMA slot
I’m 50 and feel like been hit by steam train 🚂 this week have done two classes all level’s and am black and blue all over, I still have beginner class tomorrow.
Really thinking of cutting back on one of the the all level classes as body is not recovering.
Am I over the hill for this??
Love the videos! So follow up to this video.....I have a crazy schedule and have the opportunity to be on a plan that allows a 1 hour private lesson per week, then I can go to any drilling classes or open mats on the schedule. Can an average person make good progress just doing a one hour private each week?
one hour private plus one or two open mats a week?
definitely, you can do very well, actually.
@@KamaJiuJitsu Great, that's what I'm leaning towards! Love the videos, thanks for the reply!
Very nice! Prof Ryan, question for you. I recently started jj about 2 months ago. I watched your video the other day about black belts that don't know self defense JJ. The school I go to goes heavy on competition. In the intro class they will teach a self defense technique followed up by a competition technique. I'm wondering if I'm not getting the full self defense jj I'd need. I saw the Gracie Schools will actually put on gloves and make you apply jiu jitsu while taking strikes. Wondering if after my year membership is up maybe trying that school? Your thoughts? Need a Kama JJ in PHX 😁
I would go there now, if self defense is what you’re looking for.
But that’s me.
@@KamaJiuJitsu Thanks for your insight.
Been wanting to train BJJ for years but have toenail fungus, what's your opinion on people who wear wrestling shoes to train? I'm taking meds for it and it'll be months before I start seeing progress and I don't want to wait that long to start training.
can't wear wrestling shoes on our mats.
some may allow it, though.
Hi I’m white belt started 4 days per week loving it 2 days on 1 day off feeling ok get bit bruised but expected it.
Thinking about starting too increase an extra couple of sessions like tue/fri twice per day ?
Only one way to find out if it’ll work for you!
I changed schools and the beginner classes are more regular than my last school hence been going four times.
I know 2 days a week at least is best, and everyone’s situation is different. I’m considering joining the Jiu Jitsu school near me. Hopefully it will change in the future but with the schools schedule, my work, and personal responsibilities ( small children/single parent ) I for the time being could only attend one class a week. I was thinking of doing this and then trying to get 1 or 2 private’s in a month when I can. Do you think it would be worth it to go ahead and get started or wait until down the road when I could perhaps come more?
the best time to start was yesterday.
the next best time to start is this evening.
Kama Jiu-Jitsu thanks for the response! Love the videos. Awesome channel.
I'm 12 and train 4-5 times a week for 1:30
My question,
It's been a year back from a 3 year lay off (relationship), and in that year, 2 rib injuries, a sprained mcl, and now a pulled muscle in my neck. I know it's not ballet, am I going too hard in class? I'm stretching daily, is there anything else I can do to help prevent injuries in the future? Thank you for all you do man
your body (literally) got "soft" to jiu-jitsu, i'm thinking. not saying you didn't stay in shape during the 3yr layoff. saying that you were no longer in "jiu-jitsu shape."
you might have come back trying to pick up where you left off and your body wasn't ready for that heavy a training load.
@@KamaJiuJitsu You're right, I have basically left off where I was three years ago. And I just am gonna stick with it till my body falls apart. It's my medicine and therapy
I would recommend adding some Yoga to your weekly routine. It has really helped me ( 38 yrs old). Keeps the muscles loose/warm and helps me recover quicker and avoid injury. Oss!
I used to do hot yoga right before class. Drained me. Made me like a noodle rolling. Good to sharpen your technique!
BJJ is a life time, sit back think of all the injuries, how, when and why and correct the problem . There is no need for all of this rather if it’s ur mistake or not.
Then just keep rolling, Enjoy Brother.
Hey thanks for the vid. How many times a week is good if you do bjj for social anxiety ?
As many is necessary to kill the anxiety symptoms?
@@KamaJiuJitsu ok, I meant more for feeling save to speak my mind in social gatherings. I will do 3 times a week. Thanks for the reply.
As a black belt in judo should I start a begginer bjj class or advanced?
Begginer😂 cus judo is insane at takedowns but bjj is almost only on the ground
In your opinion what would be the correct ratio between Gi and No Gi training? For example, should it be 50/50 or 80/20 when it comes to training with a Gi
we do 75/25 gi/no gi. that's what Rickson did, so that's what we do.
Thanks
Dear Mr. Kama,
I would like to ask you for advice. I started to attend bjj two weeks ago and i think i am really determined to get better in bjj, but in our school, we have no separate classes. First training we were trying to submit opponent with gi around his neck with jumping over him, s mount, locking arms with gi and chokes so hard stuff, i just do not know how to even pass the guard so i am trying to teach from your videos, i would be so happy to learn this art from the basics not just know how to do kimura and not be able to get into a sidemount when i am sparring a bluebelt. Can you just give me some advice? I have already black belt in other martial art, so i can understand the principles, however i just feel i need to train just the basics for years at least. I watched your video about getting better and as you said i am not connecting the knowledge. I am thinking about getting the invisible jj program, or i do not know. Just thank you for what you are doing, many people appreciate that.
Thank you for an answer.
have you looked into signing on to our patreon page? most of the fundamentals are on here.

I train 3X a week when I can, problem is with randori and strong gripping my fingers are sore. Don't know how can people train 6X a week, btw good for them.
you should strive to grip less. let your body do the work, not your hands.
@@KamaJiuJitsu Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for videos - always great perspectives.
I have a question: What are your thoughts on supplemental studying of jiu-jitsu away from class to maximize your time on the mats? Do you recommend it? If so, what’s your thought on the process?
By that I mean taking a structured approach to strategy. It seems like going to regular lessons means learning individual moves or isolated combinations because, inherently, the instructor/professor cannot teach everything in one lesson. So it feels like the onus to create a strategy falls on the student.
To that end, it seems commonly accepted that one learns best by putting their time in on the mats and over time a game will naturally develop with experimenting during sessions, with which I agree.
But since BJJ is so cerebral, IS there a good approach to studying away from class to maximize the learning process? Any input or insight would be great. Thank you very much.
1) start with a suitable curriculum that is structured correctly
2) learn the lessons one by one, in order.
I did a couple “whiteboard” videos explaining the process on YT, and one on Patreon.
3x a week for me because I can’t afford to pay for more
how many days a week for competition?
Whatever works for your schedule. More is better, of course.
The shirt prices are in euro.
Thank you for the heads up! I just contacted them to look into it/fix it.
Kama Jiu-Jitsu you’re welcome.
sorry for out of the topic question, do you have affiliated school in Shanghai China?
No, but someday, we hope to!
@@KamaJiuJitsu alright, how about in the Philippines
I would like to train, i really appreciate your Vlog, somehow change my perspective in Jiu-Jitsu
Not one there, either 😒
9 days a week lol. There’s only7 days in a week
LMAO. He's talking about taking multiple classes a day. Sounds like fight preparation if you train that much
My brother (18) and I (23) train 6-7 days a week + 3 x lifting weights in gym, we are careful not to go very hard every session, and occassionally 2-3 times per week we roll hard and eat well and sleep minimum 7 hours.
Its true, my brother.
