How To Seem Faster as an Older Grappler Without Using Speed in BJJ

Today’s question comes from a Judo black belt who’s a BJJ purple belt and is 51 years old. He says on the feet he’s able to take people down effectively but on the ground, he struggles with younger people who are faster than him.

In today’s video I share an idea I shared with him through social media. It’s a simple idea that’s more about the methodology of wrestling and judo vs BJJ. In my eyes, this methodology gives a certain advantage to other grappling sports and so if you apply it to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu it can help add a lot of focus to your training and your BJJ game.

And, more importantly for the question, adding this methodology to your training will also help you seem faster without having to use more speed which, as you get older, may not be available.

So, whether you’re trying to hang with the younger faster people, or just want to learn how to slow the game down. Chew on the idea in this video.

Thanks for watching and I’ll chat with you next time.
