The BJJ position blueprint I’d give to any older grappler wanting to focus on longevity. (Technical and positional choice has a BIG impact on your BJJ game. I lay out the fundamentals of what I focus on and what I’d encourage you to focus on as an older grappler.

How to avoid the mistake that’s wrecking your progress. (And it’s happening every round.)

A legitimate way to improve in BJJ, even if you only train 2-3 days a week. (A lot of people think the only way to improve is by training more. Training more can be good sometimes, but it’s not always necessary or even possible for many older grapplers with lives outside the gym.)

The real truth about using TRT as an older grappler.

The best things you can do outside of the gym to support your BJJ training inside the gym. (Probably some of the most important stuff you can do to keep grappling as you get older happens outside of the gym, not inside.)

How I meal prep in 1 hour. (Everyone knows they need to eat to support performance. But the meal prepping is hard for a lot of people. I break down my simple process for preparing a buttload of food in just 1 hour.)

The best piece of training advice dozens of high level black belts agree on. (This list of black belts include multiple time world champions, ADCC champs and your regular rank-and-file club black belt. They all come to this same piece of simple, but critical advice for improving and not destroying your body in the process.)

The absolute WORST mistake any older grappler can make. (This is honestly the worst mistake any grappler can make, period, but it’s even worse when you’re past the age of 30.)

The side of discipline people born in the 1900s get wrong and it can rob them of progress and motivation. (If you were born in the 1900s when dinosaurs roamed the earth and you rented videos from a store. You’ve probably developed a strong mindset that can become your biggest enemy when it comes to discipline.)

How to get more flexible as an older grappler. (As I said earlier, I feel better now in a lot of ways than I did when I was in my 20s. And I’m actually more flexible now than I was back then. I share some simple adjustments to your lifting and exercise routine that could help you.)

Why the 1 thing every grappler hates doing could be the secret to getting more from your training. (Getting my students to do this is like pulling teeth, but when they do it they usually have great results.)

The simple piece of bodybuilding advice that can help you be more effective in BJJ, the gym and even in life. (Honoring this basic bodybuilding principle has helped me avoid injury, get better training and avoid being mentally fatigued or negatively affecting my work or family life.)

Why trying to be well rounded can ruin your progress. (The common sense idea of being well rounded sounds good on paper, but it leads to a lot of problems and it’s not what the best in BJJ do even if they talk about it.)

How to actually implement what you learn in BJJ instructionals into action, even if you struggle to remember all the techniques in BJJ.

A rolling strategy to avoid getting gassed out by younger grapplers. (I use this all the time at seminars and when visiting gyms with young competitors. It’s a terrible competition strategy, but it’s great for the gym when you want to keep rolling and avoid being exhausted in the process.)

A rolling situation that most guys think makes them weak… it actually makes them smarter and helps them improve.

Why you should steer clear of chasing more and more techniques! (You don’t need more techniques… you need this instead.)

You’ll also get all of the future updates I add! Because I’m always learning new information, having great conversations with older black belts.
