I'm joined by my longtime friend and teammate, Shawn Chitwood. In this episode we discuss staying healthy and preventing injuries for the older grappler. Jiu-jitsu is growing in popularity with it comes many people of all ages who want to dive into this amazing art. We like to say jiu-jitsu is for everyone, but it's important to go into it with realistic expectations.

I suppose it's a different social climate in the U.S, than in Canada, as I'm 57 and I've never been in a position where I needed to physically defend myself (even having lived in NYC for 4 years). I started BJJ for the first time just 6 weeks ago, NOT for self defence, but because it is yet another physical discipline to learn to help become a more well-rounded person. I'm fascinated by the physics and skill involved in the training but, as far as injuries, you are so right. I've only had 5 classes and I've sustained 4 minor injuries already. It does humble you to realize that your limits are much different than 20 years ago.

Excellent point! I would say the healthy benefits of working out are a huge part of self preservation! Just have to be careful as we age to train properly and avoid injuries. Thanks for commenting.
