RE: Four Stripe White Belt: Piecing it All Together - BJJ Training Update, May 2018

in #bjj7 years ago

Its always been at the back of my mind but that time has probably passed. I certainly look forward to getting my kids more involved though. Great insight on one of the martial arts I was not too familiar with!

Sort:  

That's what I thought too, then I saw a guy on youtube who got his black belt at 57, after starting at 47. If it's a gym that teaches a good beginner curriculum, BJJ is the perfect old man martial art :)

Maybe I'll do it side by side with my kids in the future haha. Its good to see everybody giving it a fair crack, makes me look lazy haha

The time is never past :D One of the students I was teaching a million years ago was 70. It took him ages to get things but he never gave up and he got there. And he used to do boxing back in the day so sparring with him was actually pretty deadly as he still had lightning hands XD

Dang 70! no excuse for me now haha
