      @mozes42 Місяць тому

      You nailed it with the recovery.
      I played football for 12 years at a fairly high level, so my mind knows all about hammering away during practice/workouts.
      The problem was I started BJJ a couple of years ago when I was 42.
      My mind wants to go every day, but my body thought I was crazy at the beginning.
      I’ve been up to 3 days for about a year, with the last few weeks getting a 4th class in.
      I’ve had to add a few extra stretching sessions and hot tub sits to recovery from this 4th class.

    • @KaninTuzi
      @KaninTuzi Місяць тому +1

      I prefer two so I can have one day of strength training. I find that very helpful to minimize injury.

    • @DezCP3
      @DezCP3 Місяць тому

      😂 I used to train 40 hours per week. More isn't always better, better is better... but 2 days a week isn't going to get you anywhere fast. My body is feeling it now I'm nearly 40, but I wouldn't have got my blackbelt training twice a week. Unless you're training twice a week with one of the best coaches then you've got half a chance. Better is better, more is just more. I took this philosophy from Rosie Sexton, it opened my eyes to what better actually meant.

  • @PetLinkHK
    @PetLinkHK Місяць тому +4

    The key takeaway is to NOT STOP. I trained for 3 years in my 20s, but then I stopped. It took me 15 years to get back into it consistently. During those 15 years, I've tried 4 times to get back into it but each time I stopped after a couple of months. Finally started again when I was 45. Now 52 and I ain't stopping unless I'm physically not able to.

    I train 3 maybe 4x a week and got my blue belt in 17 months. I’m 25 - 3 in competition and I have never been submitted in competition. My first 6 months, I trained 6 times a week except Sundays and my body was sore constantly and I got hurt all the time. I switched my training methodology, focused on having a game plan and using my attributes to my advantage. That’s has helped me better than training 6x a week.

    Blue belt here. I train bjj 3x a week on my days off. But the downside is that they’re 3 days in consecutive with no rest in between. At 43 years old, my body is feeling the pain and aches. But I love bjj too much to complain and not go.

    I'm a 45 year old purple belt coming back from a 6 year lay off. I train once a week due to my work schedule but I don't miss that Monday. I'm taking it easy and my job actually keeps me in shape. I'm a mail handler for the postal service and we do lots of pushing and pulling; I walk around 6-8 miles a shift, so I'm pretty active outside of the mats lol. I treat my job like a workout.

  • @kylieminou7775
    @kylieminou7775 Місяць тому +2

    jiu jitsu is insanely expensive, the people I know in our gym that train twice a week, do so because of money. Everything is money, money, money, down to the fees to compete (too high), if you also want to compete no-gi, you have a small discount but it's money here, money there, money to buy the regulation uniform to compete nogi, if you go by ibjjf. When they do those vids saying "why so many blue belts, etc, etc, quit?", not only blue belts and the problem is money. Jiu Jitsu is a hobby, for 99.99% of people, an activity where you don't get $$ return and you do it because you like it, is the definition of a hobby, and it costs money in this case

    • @RJwarriorpoet
      @RJwarriorpoet Місяць тому +1

      I never understood this point of view. When people go out for the weekend, they easily spend a hundred dollars a night, especially young guys in their 20's. For guys that are trying to stay healthy, BJJ is relatively inexpensive in comparison to going out to the bars.

  • @RJwarriorpoet
    @RJwarriorpoet Місяць тому +1

    I'm 39 and I train 4-5 times a week. I train more for the therapeutic release I get than to get really good at BJJ. I'm also a purple belt and I'm lucky enough to have my skill and experience allow me to tailor my training based on my energy levels.

  • @brokentypewriterprod
    @brokentypewriterprod Місяць тому

    One of the older guys (40+) I know goes 3-4 times a week and I asked him how he's able to do it at his age and he said that he only rolls once a week and only stays for the technique portion of the class the other days. He's a physical therapist and works his hands and can't afford to get injured. I'm getting older too so now I go 2-3 times a week and roll on one of the days and if my body isn't too beat up I'll roll one round during the second session.

  • @JVlife22
    @JVlife22 Місяць тому

    Bernardo knows it’s not enough lol. This man slept (literally) on the mats.
    I’m 50 yr old blue. I train 4 times a week. Your management of injuries and recovery, for me I do a lot on the mats. If I know certain partners (young) have 1 gear I’ll roll with 1 then roll with my pier group. And if I want to work on technique and not go assassin mode I’ll roll with the upper belts.
    Mental BJJ is a thing as well. I study, read and watch others. I manage my longevity on how I roll. I think how you roll (especially older) is the most important factor in BJJ health.
