My advice: throw some punches, they won’t see it coming

You can't be beat by a smaller guy if you're the smallest guy in the gym!

I’m thinking about starting classes....I turn 59 next week...my friends think I’m crazy.

Bjj really humbles you though. It teaches you that no matter how good you think you are there is always someone better than you. But you learn from that. It’s good.

As a BJJ white belt with barely 2 months in my journey, it's been humbling to get tapped out by the more experienced guys. I don't plan to win, I plan to learn. To feel what they are doing. To test what I'm taught under pressure, and if I can switch tactics, or frame or take their angles away, just to last 1-2 minutes without tapping.

I needed to see this. I was very close to giving up because I wasn't absorbing the techniques and drills. A guy I started the same day with has improved by leaps and bounds; I, on the other hand, have not. Thank you again for this. I needed it.

Lol "use Oxiclean to get blood stains out of your Gi"

What that first guy said is so true! When you don’t feel like going because work has beat you down all day and you’re tired, go! That’s when you need stress relief the most and I’ve found those are actually my best days of training because when I get there the energy level goes way up and I’m able to train my best. J/s

Thanks for having me on! The advice was amazing! Bonus bonus bonus tip: short hair makes your life easier in BJJ so you don't have to do silly hair tie things like I did lol

Excellent idea. Love bjj. I love getting onto the mats... no phones... nothing else matters other then learning a technique or surviving lol
