This reminds me of when I doing my dissertation for university. At the time it felt like mountain to climb but now I can see that it's actually not that hard and that there is system/process to getting things done.
Started BJJ at 35 and completely out of shape. After only 2 classes I felt stronger and more limber and the desire to change my diet and lifestyle came naturally. I almost died the first class lol but I pushed through. I firmly believe that there is no funner way to get in shape than training in combat sports in a good healthy gym. It will change you.
All these people who started kickboxing at 37 and here I am having taken up muay thai at 26 now at 30 sitting and feeling shooting pains in my right ankle and knee and feeling the dread of permanent damage.
I like the jiu-jitsu at 37 part....I’m 43 started bjj 5 months ago.....first class...the warmup nearly killed me....now I can go full class...shark tank...and 4-5 good rolls....there’s no excuses!
What a holes. Imagine if I decided to to move into my neighbor's house lol. Just kick his ass out and claim his home ass mine. Well... Kill him and take his stuff basically. But those guys were rolling baby's heads off pyramids or something no?
Sometimes i lift weights right after hard BJJ because its the only way to fit into my schedule. Dont give a fuck that its "not optimal", best part is overcoming the mental barriers and still putting on muscle
I want to do bjj but just not sure I can financially do it. That scares me because also my vehicle is older. I work every day and I'm over 40 but think I may just go for it.
Don't know the prices in your area but the first place I found in mine was $200/month. Was about to do it till I found an ATT gym for $170. Did that a couple months then decided to keep looking and now I'm locked into a $100/month deal at the best place in town. Shop around, call every gym. If you're new, skill levels don't matter so much, not till you get your blue belt at least. If you could find find a cheap garage run by a good blue belt that's a great start. Good luck. Oh, my gym is half Corey Brown jj, badass black belt, look him up. He actually rolls with his students, the other half of the gym is Niko Price's gym, current UFC WW. Great gym.
TBH the wallet was the reason I stopped with BJJ. For sure you can find a mat and solo practice penetration steps, bridging, shrimping, turkish getups etc. But I'm right there with you with the subscription fees for school. No shame if you had to forego it for fear of injuries but you need to stay in shape regardless.
I started kickboxing at 37. Met a 70 year old gentleman who started praticing karate at 68.
Started Jujitsu at 37. Listen to this on the morning to class.

Everything that’s easy was hard first.
The burning of the ships he is referring to is Hernan Cortes burning the ships in order to conquer the Aztec Empire
