Im 54 , I started at 49 and I train 4 days per week every week. I roll 15/ 20 people per week . My sons do it and my 5yr old grandson got his first white stripe 2 days ago. 3rd generation . Jiujitsu transforms lives for the better.
I got my blue belt in 2002 and quit in 2003. I am currently 41 years old. The pandemic gave me the motivation and time to start backup. I have been doing it 3-4 days a week for the last 13 months. I still have a way to go for my purple. Now I don't even care about the ranking. I just love the activity and doing cool things. I got the basic hip bump, roll mount reversal on a pretty good blue belt today. I don't think that has worked on him in years. He was quit surprised. That was my win for the day.
I just got my Black Belt. I came back to this video after the adrenaline and exhaustion of the ceremony. I needed this. Thanks Stuart. 12/18/2023 Gracie Humáita Black Belt.❤
Started 7 months ago at 59 and chubby. One of my grandsons was spending the summer with us and had been bullied at school, so I took him and we went together for a couple months until he went home. I’m addicted and still going. I am the oldest guy at this Gracie school. I love all my buddies there and I go 3-4 days a week. I am a nail amongst many hammers, but someday ! 😉 My grandson went home and a different bully started in on him. He’s 11 and quiet and took all he could take and finally took the kid to the ground, got in side control, and held him there until teachers arrived….bully was crying when teachers arrived. Jake just did exactly as he had been instructed. He hopes someday to be a red belt like Relson, who he got to meet at our school. Life changing !
I’m 48 and retired myself last year. I’m new to consistent Jiujitsu training and loving it. I was nervous as I have many herniated disks but like the saying goes the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today. Everyone dies, but not everyone lives. Get after it bro!
I have been in LE for only 3 years. Last summer I got a new assignment and really fell off the wagon, wasn't exercising. I strained my back about 2 months ago... don't know how. It wore off after about 6 weeks. Once it healed up I started working out again.. was going good for two weeks, I was pain free besides normal muscle soreness. I decided to start BJJ as well, and on my first class less than a week ago, I strained the same muscles in my back. Didn't know it until the next morning. Can barely sit down for a minute, can barely breathe when I'm standing up or doing certain movements. It is worse than before. Ibuprofen won't touch the pain. It's really disheartening. I watch these videos and I want so badly to train. I was as humbled as I was hooked after the first session. I'm honestly afraid to show my face at my bjj gym because it's been 5 days since my first class and I haven't shown my face. I am probably gonna go this weekend just to watch and explain to my coaches why I haven't come, and why I am not training, just to show I am very much still dedicated. I'm basically just venting my personal struggle here. I know my back can heal but it took so long after the first strain, I don't want to wait months to continue. At the same time, I'm afraid of being in an endless cycle. I don't know whether to try to overcome the pain, or if I need to wait till I'm pain free for a really long time to continue.
Hope you're still going brotha. I'm new to BJJ and the whole community is so welcoming and there isn't any judgement. Best community I've ever had the pleasure of being part of.
The same thing has been happening to me my whole jujitsu career. I started when I was 5, I went every day for a long time. until my father decided to let me take a break so I wouldn't get burnt out. It's been a long while since then but the break was probably around 2 weeks. Before I took the break I was one of the best in my gym for my age group, despite that, I still remember feeling constant anxiety and sorrow. Of course, there were still great times and it was a great period in my life. But after this break, I was even more anxious and scared when coming back and that eventually led to more breaks, longer breaks, and more anxiety and more stress. This caused me to become even more insecure about my abilities and become even more scared of embarrassment. Eventually, I stopped coming for a few months 'and when I came back I followed one of the best coaches in my gym to his new gym. I started to get back in the flow of things but I still had a crippling feeling of nervousness. I felt this weird feeling of disconnection when it came to socializing with others at my gym. At this new gym after a while, I would start to not come as frequently because I was so nervous about going. While at that gym, I won first place in a state tournament, but I was still scared and I felt disconnected. One day I sprained my wrist so I took another break and due to anxiety and stuff like that, this lasted almost 2 years. This March I came back, but due to anxiety and my parents not having as much time as they used to I have only gone 10 days since late March. Today I was supposed to go, the last time I went was a month ago. I can't begin to describe the immense feeling of regret because of this that has just been eating me up for years. I love and love Jiu Jitsu but I just can't bring myself to go especially after losing so much time. Although if I go back and stick with it, I most likely could make something of myself again since I'm still young . It really hurts to think of how much anxiety has controlled my life, but as of right now I'm starting to think I may just be lazy like my parents thought I was for so long when I didn't want to go to jiu Jitsu, before they knew I had anxiety. ( i wrote this in a fairly fast manner so i apologies for the poor writing . )
Hey man, I just started at 27 and want to improve quickly (although i have a busy schedule) how many times did you train per week? thanks and hope you are well
I started 3-4 times, then started doing double days, (noon)-(night). I felt progress when I started understanding concepts, exploring my game on the internet and using things that simply made sence to me. Forget about the belts , rather be a badass white belt then a shitty blue belt 😂😂😂
@@miertastrain Fair play thats alot of training, Ill probably only be able to do 2-3 times per week I think so will have to make reasonable, steady progress. thanks!
JJ is addictive because it speaks to that natural instinct to grapple, and you can only get better at it but you'll never be *the best* - theres always new things to learn from EVERYONE. I started when I was 14, stopped at 23 and started again at 27. Love it.
I’ve been rolling for two months now, 4 times a week. And I was thinking to myself why is this thing so addictive. After some thought, I think I’m captivated by the idea that an attack, can get reversed and that gets reversed and so on and so on and the infinite roll concept where two people, equally matched, could go on forever without a tap is the thing that captivated me. Then, you realise when you’re on the mat getting tapped, that to achieve that infinitesimal level, you need to work harder to up your game. It’s like a life quest 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
I'm 41 and starting my 2nd class tomorrow.. I'm all in with this art form. It's self defense, self esteem building and overall sense of an extended family is what's drawn me to the discipline. I wish I started my journey sooner but that's what's so great about it.. as long as you are physically able to do it, you can do it past your 40's and 50's, other sports your career is ending in your late 30's.. I'm hooked on JJ.. Can't stop watching UA-cam videos like Jocko and Echo, Royce Gracie, Dean Lister, and all the other great personalities in the sport
Congratulations and welcome to our club, Andrew. I wish you good health and learning all the knowledge you're able to! I hope you check in throughout your journey and never quit. I wish you nothing but a wonderful ride in this sport we all love. You're never too old, and we appreciate you joining us. #OSS -a 2nd degree black belt. #newwavebjj
@@johnhernandez4734 thanks for the warm welcome. I appreciate you guys letting me into this extended family. I'm now a full month in on my BJJ career. I will be competing in my 1st grappling tournament on April 1st! Super excited and can't wait to get into the mats! Thanks again for the warm welcome
I’m 39 just started on Monday. Been thinking about it the last 48 hours, I loved it. My body is wrecked though haha. Should be good to make it in tomorrow though.
It’s 30 minutes before class starts and I’m debating on taking the night off because the last week I’ve felt like I’ve been going backwards. Thank you for this. Putting the Gi on now and headed in to get some work in.......
Every single person experiences the feeling you're going back or not progressing, you are my brother, everything is a learning curve and you're improving, everyone has off days everyone has days when they're more tired than usual, I've experienced those and so has everyone and the best feeling is when you finish that session being like that you know, you'll always be able to keep going #Oss 💪
@@aaronk9094 so true brother. I’ve been more consistent since my last post and have noticed the improvements. Thank you for the encouragement. I’m in this for the long term 🤙🏻
@@CSPD3522 awesome to hear my brother, keep the grind and the love, we're all on a path, up to us you, me and everyone to keep going through that path, all the best in your training my man 🙏Oss
After about 14 years skateboarding, I felt stuck in the context of progressing in that sport. I found Jiu Jitsu at that time which took the front seat in my life (athletically) for the proceeding 7ish years. About 6 months after I got my purple belt, I decided to take a step back and refocus on skateboarding. Since then, I haven’t been back to Jiu Jitsu… Not because I don’t love Jiu Jitsu, but because the principles within Jiu Jitsu helped me rethink my entire approach to skateboarding (in addition to providing me a new skill set for falling (amongst several other things)). There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about Jiu Jitsu, but ultimately, I’m married to the game of skateboarding. Alongside skateboarding, Jiu Jitsu is the greatest sport in the world. And in many ways, it was THE thing that ultimately saved my marriage with skateboarding…lol
Started at 30 after the death of my dad. Less than one year later I'm almost a blue belt. All glory to God, all honor to the highest of mankind's angles
@@phillbernal I worry about very little including my fitness. Lifting, cardio, whole body, Jiu-Jitsu takes care of a lot of that. I lost a little body fat and put on a little bit of lean muscle. My girlfriends have noticed
@@ofin9335 since becoming a truck driver I didn't roll for almost eight months because if how much I was working. but I started back up this week. Honestly if you can go even twice a week you'll learn a lot and gain a ton of confidence and see results. Ideally four or even five times a week is excellent, and once a week is better than not at all. It's so good for me that if my work gets in the way I'll change careers before sacrificing martial arts. It's made that big of an impact on who I am
Just started at 48. Got my 10 year old son and 13 year old daughter training too because I know there’s no better sport for them to do to take with them through their lives osss 👊
I’ve been doing Japanese Jiu Jitsu for a year. Bjj for a month. I love it. My JJJ Goshin also uses Shito ryu karate. I’m 40 and have never felt better. This passion has made me a better Chef, Man, person.
My 1st interest with BJJ was while watching Lethal Weapon 1 backnin 1987 with Mel Gibson locked Busey in a leg triangle choke. I was impressed with the technique. Now I'm turning 50 and my daughter is 11, we will start next week.
Hey, just saw your post. Wondering if you started training? I'm a black belt instructor, jiu-jitsu changed my life. Hope it has done wonders for you. If you haven't gone, this is the universe telling you now is the time
I’d be willing to bet that 50% of purple belts and down are doing BJJ because of hearing Joe talk about it non-stop. For the people thinking about starting and are scared, don’t be. My ego kept me from walking through the door of a gym for 10 years before I started, and after my first week, I regretted 10 years of my ego keeping me from it. It is one of the absolute loves of my life, and I might be a white belt for life, but I don’t care. I’ll keep training 4+ times per week until I die.
Definitely looking forward to starting jiu-jitsu I'm 26 and Have Low Confidence and Self-esteem I don't think Highly of myself but I know deep down inside I can do so much more I just need a way to bring it out and boost my confidence This Definitely looks like a great community to be apart of and I definitely look forward to learning the Art
That's What's Sup bro definitely Stick it out If you don't mind can you share with me what was difficult about it? How was your Exp personally for your first day I just found a Jiu-jitsu School today in my Area going to check it out tomorrow
@@DEVINOBOY Well im from NZ and found a combat gym where they do kickboxing etc too so rocked up and I found the warm up hard as we were planking all in a line while the person at the end would crawl under everyone. By the end was sweating a lot but then it was onto getting out of a headlock with someone on top of you which was alrite. I have natural strength from going to the gym daily so can kinda outmuscle the white belts but just don't know the technique. First hour was technique then I just watched a bit of the 2nd half free rolling n yea I enjoyed it
Keep turning up men. For the first 6 months you’ll question every lesson if you’re getting better. You’ll get beat 10,000 times. But just you wait until you last a 5 minute round without getting tapped. Just you wait until you get your first win. BJJ is a wonderful brotherhood, full of love, void of ego
The thing I love is the help getting out of your shell. I don’t mind getting my ass beat, lol. But it’s the approaching people to roll or even drill that’s the hardest part for me. And that’s probably the greatest thing for me, personally. And everyone is so welcoming and will help you with what to do as they’re submitting you. It’s all love ❤️
I am 23 and started in Februari this year, so 9 months ago. I am in the best shape of my life, and I love the sport! It is a truly humbling experience.
Nice sound bites from Rogan and Willink here about BJJ, but for me personally, it was Rogan interviewing Guy Ritchie and talking about BJJ that got me to try it out in the end. They way they talked about it made it sound very appealing to me :)
@@dustinmbox good to hear. Keep up the rehab. I was out for 1 year with knee surgery in 2019-2020. It was frustrating but the rehab and physio helped get me back much quicker
@@Leo-dv7xb yes it was a really freak accident though. All i did was a back step in half guard from top position and my meniscus ripped. I think my foot got caught in the mat or something? It's hard to remember exactly
The pencil necks see the muscle, strain and exposition of just practice...and see that as a threat. They don't see the bond of brotherhood of physical contact. My instructor maybe old, had his 7th degree in judo always told us, "There's always someone more hungry". (Glenn Negen) Miss him like a father and best friend.
I was going through a hard time with grief and now I do Jiu Jitsu. The reason why I do Jiu Jitsu is because I wanna lose weight not because I wanna be a black belt. A month ago I received my blue belt but to me I still have a lot to learn.
Just started this journey a month ago...at 44....the mind is the ultimate challenger...I push myself every time there's class to get there....but I'm starting to feel more confident little by little...I'm a man of faith....and continue pushing...have to keep pushing
In order to progress and to get better at something, it always comes down to having the right understanding and the right attitude. It is good to remember the old proverb "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool". So always be curious and open yourself to the endless possibilities. And yes...the learning never stops. It would be a pretty dull existence if it did.

Joined am mma gym recently. Mainly joined for their Muay Thai program but eventually started going to their BJJ classes. And it has definitely been an humbling experience lol. Just gonna keep at it and showing up.
Finally someone says Royce correctly! People seem to think that because Brazilians can't pronounce the "R" that they have to do the same thing. The Chinese don't pronounce the "R" either but nobody bats an eye. Its just these trendy jiu-jitsu people who try acting Brazilian lol. Thanks Jock
Been rollin bout 15yrs now and it never gets old new techniques coming out every day, no other martial arts can say that.🤙🏽 osss porrada daily Aloha my frenzs
I decided to quit my bjj journey 3 weeks ago, after some elbow, fingers, neck, constant pain. But today I'm ready to go back, with new attitude. This is addictive.
Started BJJ at 42 yo.....Been skateboarding since 30 years but got injured really bad last year May while skating (Torn ACL, ICL and Meniscus). Had surgery in July. So. Only did BJJ for about 4 months. Just started going to class again last week. And it feels great. I think I will get into this alot more now and let skateboarding become a part of my past life. Maybe roll around parks and stuff. But I really like the feeling BJJ gives me. ❤

That's what's great about it. Kids can stop a bully without hurting the bully back.
The fact it helped him stand up for himself is a great change.

@@ofin9335 since becoming a truck driver I didn't roll for almost eight months because if how much I was working. but I started back up this week. Honestly if you can go even twice a week you'll learn a lot and gain a ton of confidence and see results. Ideally four or even five times a week is excellent, and once a week is better than not at all. It's so good for me that if my work gets in the way I'll change careers before sacrificing martial arts. It's made that big of an impact on who I am
Jits every day roll on 🤙
🔥🔥🔥
Man I love jiu jitsu!! I ALWAYS kick myself when I miss a training day.
Just started at 48. Got my 10 year old son and 13 year old daughter training too because I know there’s no better sport for them to do to take with them through their lives osss 👊
I’m 112 and started 3 days ago. Feelin pretty confident now
I’ve been doing Japanese Jiu Jitsu for a year. Bjj for a month. I love it. My JJJ Goshin also uses Shito ryu karate. I’m 40 and have never felt better. This passion has made me a better Chef, Man, person.
I am 50. I am BACK on the mat after a 20 year hiatus. So thankful. So humble. So empowering!!
Respect to you for getting back in man.
I’m heading to my first class today. Thank you for the video. It is time to start the journey.
Glad you liked it bro
How'd the class go??
It was great! I have a great sensei and the people were super helpful. It is humbling and encouraging
My 1st interest with BJJ was while watching Lethal Weapon 1 backnin 1987 with Mel Gibson locked Busey in a leg triangle choke. I was impressed with the technique. Now I'm turning 50 and my daughter is 11, we will start next week.
Hey, just saw your post. Wondering if you started training? I'm a black belt instructor, jiu-jitsu changed my life. Hope it has done wonders for you. If you haven't gone, this is the universe telling you now is the time
I’d be willing to bet that 50% of purple belts and down are doing BJJ because of hearing Joe talk about it non-stop. For the people thinking about starting and are scared, don’t be. My ego kept me from walking through the door of a gym for 10 years before I started, and after my first week, I regretted 10 years of my ego keeping me from it. It is one of the absolute loves of my life, and I might be a white belt for life, but I don’t care. I’ll keep training 4+ times per week until I die.
I hope you get interviewed by Jocko or other good podcasts Stuart! You've seen and grappled a lot!
Plus this cinematography is incredible. Wow. Powerful
Thanks brother I appreciate it
@@NinjaofApathy 🙏😊
I've rolled with Stu. Absolutely fkd me up.
I like when jocko says "no one could stop you it was awesome"
I'm pretty sure most people still cannot stop him. That's a scary man in a good way
This was a beautiful video about an incredible passion.
Definitely looking forward to starting jiu-jitsu I'm 26 and Have Low Confidence and Self-esteem I don't think Highly of myself but I know deep down inside I can do so much more I just need a way to bring it out and boost my confidence This Definitely looks like a great community to be apart of and I definitely look forward to learning the Art
Same mate, 25 and went to my very first BJJ lesson on monday, was diffcult but I'm gonna stick it out.
That's What's Sup bro definitely Stick it out If you don't mind can you share with me what was difficult about it? How was your Exp personally for your first day I just found a Jiu-jitsu School today in my Area going to check it out tomorrow
@@DEVINOBOY Well im from NZ and found a combat gym where they do kickboxing etc too so rocked up and I found the warm up hard as we were planking all in a line while the person at the end would crawl under everyone. By the end was sweating a lot but then it was onto getting out of a headlock with someone on top of you which was alrite. I have natural strength from going to the gym daily so can kinda outmuscle the white belts but just don't know the technique. First hour was technique then I just watched a bit of the 2nd half free rolling n yea I enjoyed it
Keep turning up men. For the first 6 months you’ll question every lesson if you’re getting better. You’ll get beat 10,000 times.
But just you wait until you last a 5 minute round without getting tapped.
Just you wait until you get your first win.
BJJ is a wonderful brotherhood, full of love, void of ego
Devin how has it been for you?? Have you started? Any questions??
The thing I love is the help getting out of your shell. I don’t mind getting my ass beat, lol. But it’s the approaching people to roll or even drill that’s the hardest part for me. And that’s probably the greatest thing for me, personally. And everyone is so welcoming and will help you with what to do as they’re submitting you. It’s all love ❤️
Excellent work as always, Stuart!
Thank you bro 😎
Been looking for something to show everyone who has no idea about what BJJ is. This one is perfect!
great video guys, in tears, ready for training today, thank you! oss
Dude, you are not making it easy during the lockdown!
Awesome video.
🙏😂
I am 23 and started in Februari this year, so 9 months ago. I am in the best shape of my life, and I love the sport! It is a truly humbling experience.
I started when I was 33.... New life, new people... Its really amazing!!!!
Just love that video the conversation between Joe and Jocko. Wonderfully articulated
Thank you for all your beautiful work Stuart. Your films have motivated me since my fresh white belt days, and continue to.
Thanks Gavin! I appreciate the support bro
@@stuartcooperfilms 👑
Thank you Stuart, always a pleasure watching your videos. Great cinematography, gave me goosebumps!
Thank you 🙏
Amazing inspirational video. Keep up the good work Stuart! We all appreciate it and thank you from deep down
Thanks Daniel
The best inspirational vids period.
Thank you bro. I have a lot more to come :)
MMA & BJJ needs to be in the next Olympics!!!!!
I’m not sure that will ever happen? If it does they will change a lot of the rules
@@stuartcooperfilms Yes, and that would suck
Thank you Mr. Cooper. Best content on UA-cam.
Thanks dude 🙏
Nice sound bites from Rogan and Willink here about BJJ, but for me personally, it was Rogan interviewing Guy Ritchie and talking about BJJ that got me to try it out in the end. They way they talked about it made it sound very appealing to me :)
Maybe I should do another video with their commentary? 🤔
great video that’s both humbling and empowering. Will remember while I ‘m attending my jiu jitsu classes. Thanks man!
Great to see this again with all the video added. Thank you 😁
Thanks bro 🙏
So good. Thank you for this. I’m recovery from a bad knee injury now and it’ll be several months before I can train again. I needed this.
Hope you have a speedy recovery bro
@@stuartcooperfilms thanks bro! Both the surgeon and the physical therapist are really happy with my progression. I’m ahead of their expectations.
@@dustinmbox good to hear. Keep up the rehab. I was out for 1 year with knee surgery in 2019-2020. It was frustrating but the rehab and physio helped get me back much quicker
@@stuartcooperfilms Hey, White belt here. If I may ask, your knee injury was from bjj?
@@Leo-dv7xb yes it was a really freak accident though. All i did was a back step in half guard from top position and my meniscus ripped. I think my foot got caught in the mat or something? It's hard to remember exactly
Thank you for this video sharing our art with a world that needs it.
Thank you Timothy 🙏
The pencil necks see the muscle, strain and exposition of just practice...and see that as a threat. They don't see the bond of brotherhood of physical contact. My instructor maybe old, had his 7th degree in judo always told us, "There's always someone more hungry". (Glenn Negen) Miss him like a father and best friend.
Thanks for sharing this with me Alina..very inspirational.
Your films are extremely well done and motivational, but what impresses me is that you respond to most of the comments. Good Job!
Thank you. It’s very much appreciated 🙏
I was going through a hard time with grief and now I do Jiu Jitsu. The reason why I do Jiu Jitsu is because I wanna lose weight not because I wanna be a black belt. A month ago I received my blue belt but to me I still have a lot to learn.
Congrats on the blue belt 👏
@@stuartcooperfilms Sorry for the wait and thanks I still have a lot to learn though but I’m glad to achieve it!
Just started this journey a month ago...at 44....the mind is the ultimate challenger...I push myself every time there's class to get there....but I'm starting to feel more confident little by little...I'm a man of faith....and continue pushing...have to keep pushing
Dont think about it, just grab your bag and go and keep going. It takes time to get rewarding but its worth it.
Fuggin epic video. Nicely done with the conversation and the video transitions. 👍🏻
Started in 07 . I’m now a black belt and continue learning every single day .
Oss
Forget Jiu Jitsu.... From 6:50 to 7:49 is something I've been telling myself constantly. Gold.
love the inspo! jiu jitsu has changed my life
Amazing montage.
Thank you man !
bless you
In order to progress and to get better at something, it always comes down to having the right understanding and the right attitude. It is good to remember the old proverb "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool". So always be curious and open yourself to the endless possibilities. And yes...the learning never stops. It would be a pretty dull existence if it did.
Back again! Perfect time since I’m competing tomorrow! OSS Stuart Thankyou for the content

I love Jiu-jitsu, it feels natural to me
Joined am mma gym recently. Mainly joined for their Muay Thai program but eventually started going to their BJJ classes. And it has definitely been an humbling experience lol. Just gonna keep at it and showing up.
Phenomenal video mate. Very well done
Thank you Mike 🙏
Another absolute belter mate! Great work
Thanks mate 🙏
I stumbled upon this video. It's just amazing.
Cheers from Japan
Thats why im going to join jiu jitus because there is nothing better then it
Loved this video I’m 38 and just started BJJ one month ago and ❤️it wish I would of found it sooner in my life.
Great video man!! Love it
Thank you for posting this video, just what I needed to hear to join bjj
Great video Stu!
Thanks bro 🙏
Finally someone says Royce correctly! People seem to think that because Brazilians can't pronounce the "R" that they have to do the same thing. The Chinese don't pronounce the "R" either but nobody bats an eye. Its just these trendy jiu-jitsu people who try acting Brazilian lol. Thanks Jock
Great job on this vid!!
Thanks 🙏
Been rollin bout 15yrs now and it never gets old new techniques coming out every day, no other martial arts can say that.🤙🏽 osss porrada daily
Aloha my frenzs
"There is no black belt that doesn't learn something new"
Yes! Really enjoying it!!!
Awesome
Awesome to see you posting videos again. hope you are doing well in canada! ps. still using your cross face you showed in tiger ;)
Awesome 😂 good to hear 👊
I decided to quit my bjj journey 3 weeks ago, after some elbow, fingers, neck, constant pain. But today I'm ready to go back, with new attitude. This is addictive.
I'm a big knuckle head and I'm totally hooked on jiu jitsu
GREAT short film!!!
You make such good stuff man. Saw your montage, killer on the mat too. Keep it up!
Thanks bro. I appreciate it
Stewart films does it again damn such good content and good videos on top of it . Jiujitsu for life baby 🥋
Thank you bro 🙏
Such a great video...I'm fired up! Thanks
Started BJJ at 42 yo.....Been skateboarding since 30 years but got injured really bad last year May while skating (Torn ACL, ICL and Meniscus). Had surgery in July. So. Only did BJJ for about 4 months.
Just started going to class again last week. And it feels great.
I think I will get into this alot more now and let skateboarding become a part of my past life. Maybe roll around parks and stuff. But I really like the feeling BJJ gives me. ❤
Love these videos bro
