That's awesome man! I started at 51 stopped at 52 with lowback problems... it doesn't stop calling me though even now. Trying to get back at it.

@@dougieladd Lowback problems from JiuJitsu? Guess it's pretty rough.

Osss, good for you thats bad ass that you started training later on in life. I just saw a 74 year old guy get his brown belt a month ago thats the shit that motivates me i am always told jiu-jitsu is for life no matter how long that maybe....

@@micjakes1 I've always has issues with it... but I think it's more to do with not training enough... I am on the path to return as soon as possible. If you're wanting to do it... you have to... It's like The Force. I "calls" you to the mat.

Thank you for saying this me at 37 has just started gracie jui jitsu my fitness ain't great atm but am excited about this and ithought I was too old to start

@@pg23uk definitely not too old! Way to go, you’re already past 99% of the population - just keep going - it’s hard, but everything that’s worth it is…

@@FR-ty5vn appreciate the reply totally out of my comfort zone but the people and instructors have been amazing tying the belt well let's just say am gunna need practice

@@pg23uk as my instructor told me for years…you’re doing it!!

@@pg23uk How 're you doing now, buddy? :)

Paddy Gladman keep up the great work!

Paddy Gladman ask any person who who does bjj they will all say its been life changing for them

@@dalroache can confirm was life changing for me.

yea that's really bad if they are teaching you black belts moves most have fundamentalist then advance

Tha training centres that ryron and rener advocate are synced so every certified training centre teaches the same stuff, from basics to advanced stuff. Also 10thplanet schools are getting more and more synced too with their warm up sets.

Spetsnaz Pocomaxa yes foundation is the most important otherwise those submissions won’t be as effective. For me personally I’m not into all the new tournament bjj styled techniques I prefer the original direct form of Rickson Gracie and how Kron Gracie does bjj. Even Ralph Gracie I love it because their techniques are so refined and their foundation is the best

I started at 52 also, been doing it for 8 months now

@@PeterKofinas hhjjhjnnmll I was 8

😎

toseeornot2see after about 5 months of doing it do you think you could use it if you got into a street fight?.... I ask because I plan on starting bjj soon and I wanna know the average progress level

Yeah, definitely, cos with Gi training you're basically learning how to fight with clothes on...So you can apply that to hoodies and long sleeves, etc. But I think it really depends on the school and your instructor. Best to learn the basics and then ask instructor to train you in more street effective methods.

toseeornot2see kk thank you for the response

did you teach how to block punch??

Um...not so far. I guess...That's more boxing than BJJ, but I can see what you mean from a self defense perspective.

So, find a club and train bro. its a good time. #hangloose

Are you still doing Jiu-Jitsu

Jitz Life are you still waiting for a reply?

What made you say that? Did he get caught not paying taxes?

@@resiack They apperantly hid a lot of money from the IRS

Don't say shit, it's brazilian martial art tho....

CapitalMMA most of people I roll w are doctor

Fuck how was it? Fucking sucks if u liked it, only had 1 lesson and had to stop cuz of covid lol.

I’m going in a week how is it

Caine Patterson Very intense, will test you both physically and mentally, but it’s so rewarding

Its not worth it

Trey Cantu sorry for the late reply. Yep I’m still going. Progress a bit slow as I’m cross training with Muay Thai, but looking forward to continuing this year

Casey Brown Did u??

@@theengineer704 dont Dream About miracles, is only Marketing !!!

Have you finally started 😃

Its a scam

*inside and outside of the gym my motto is

How?

Let me guess, you do Akido?😂

@@gaberondon8757 Why would you assume someone does aikido just because they dont like bjj and the gracies?

@@ninjaturtlemaster24 So I was right haha

@@gaberondon8757 No. You are not right. Now answer my question.....why would you assume someone does aikido just because they dont like bjj and gracies? That is possibly one of the dumbest and childish assumptions one can make

ninjaturtlemaster24 aikido champ

Right?! Its like moving meditation, you have to clear your mind in order to be able to roll well. I've been doing jiu-jitsu for just over 5yrs now and I cant get enough of it!

mike harvey how good are you?....like would you be able to defend yourself in a street fight using ju jitsu?.... just curious because I plan on starting soon

I first sarted 20 years ago before coming to Japan. I also have wresling and karate experience. How good am I? Can I fight? jeez...I've been in about 12 street/bar fights in that time, but there are no guarantees. I can say, if you train fairly regularly for say, 6-9 months, with striking sometimes, you will improve your odds of surviving against a a guy who doesn't know what's going on dramatically. My worst nightmare would be getting into a street fight against somebody who was angry at me and had better Jitsu.

Mike, Kron Gracie said you were looking at his girlfriend...

I do both and I love it

Michaelson Sarmiento captain obvious!!

Wow. It's been 6 months now for me haha

@@brucewayne8453 how are you

@@lil_siamese714 good,, still doing bjj ?

@@brucewayne8453 awesome. What belt are you now? I just started 3 months ago. So I have a long way to go.

@@lil_siamese714 so do i bro

You make a good point, people should always find ways to be well rounded in the martial arts.

Jiu Jitsu enhances your life and gives you the confidence to confront the challenges we all face.

what u saying is basically it only changes your life if you are serious with it and I agree on that. It is not enough to sign up and pay your fee, you need to invest time, energy, sweat and blood.

@@abmo32 well it'll just take up all your time and energy is what u sign up for.. lol it's not the way per se the gracies or such advertise it like it's some life crystal ball paradise thing.. for example it builds confidence.. to an extent.. but if your always social situations, willing to be uncomfortable, that is confidence too, builds social skills.. it's like going to the gym or dojo everyday.. it gets repitive and mundane after awhile

@@deekay7594 Well, you certainly need to be willing to improve outside of the gym, in areas you are lacking behind, like socially. For me it always felt like if I can take kicks from trained killers and survive on the mat with some brazilian psychopath, how hard can it be to approach a chick I think is cute, as an example for anyone who is socialy anxious. It very much depends on your school, your mates and yourself too. However, doing some combat sport - for me - is the way to raise confidence and what I advise people on if I see them lacking in that area. At the very least: you become a fit athlete, probably looking better and feeling better, you are confident and less anxious, because you know you can defend yourself against regular Joe pretty easily, you should not be push over if you are seriously into your craft and last but not least, you get to know some cool af people, unless you are in a McDojo. Some of my best friends are through different gyms I've trained at in my life. I think if someone doesn't gain anything outside of the gym, he/she should consider changing school/art.

Ignacio Nemarich i found a place where i live but is expensive in where i live

Blue belt now

You can join anytime and no it doesn't matter that you're overweight. BJJ will help you lose the weight in the long term

Taylor Bee because a striker has maybe 2 chances to KO a superior grappler and then it’s game over if they miss.

John Boy Doherty Matt Hughes knows Jiu Jitsu

Slyze doesn’t contribute more than other martial arts to his combat style

Matt Hughes incorporated Jiu Jitsu into his style with his wrestling, just a fact

Slyze fact is that wrestling was still the martial art that was his primary strength and dominated his arsenal, any mma fan can tell you that matt hughes slammed people onto the mat with intent to break your spine, that’s wrestling.

How to beat a jiu jitsu fighter? ....A Jiu Jitsu fighter xD

What man you crazy? I Start know and im 25 with good striking but still. Its just numbers man Most important thing is that we get this done with passion
