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.

This is a short clip from the belt promotions we did at my gym back in October 2022. In the clip you’ll see me promote one of my students to Black Belt. It’s been around 10 years since he started and he’s been one of the most consistent people on the mats even being 40 when he started BJJ and is now 50 years old. He’s had some injuries along the way and kept coming and gotten very good at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

In the video I also share why I try to give Black Belts that I wear to my students when I promote them.

Just a sneak peek from inside the gym.

P.S Sorry about the kids in the background. I know the noise can be a bit much. They were playing on the other side of the gym and I didn’t think the mic would pic it up as much as it did.
