Young BJJ Coach Wants to Help a 71 Year Old Learn BJJ

Today we’ve got a question from a Jiu-Jitsu Coach (Assistant Coach) who recently had a brand-new White Belt come into class to try out BJJ. Here’s the kicker though…

The new student is 71 years old!

This guy has minimal mobility with his body and has bad knees that soon need replacement, so the Assistant Coach spent a good amount of time trying to analyze what the older gentleman could and could not do.

During the training, he has the older gentleman doing solo movements. After the class, he talked to other coaches and asked what they thought he should do to help.

They suggested that he help the older student find a specialist and should stop working with him.

But the older guy continues to come in and wants to train, and so the Assistant coach wants to take on the challenge of an advanced-age student.

He wonders if I have any advice for this particular situation.

Here’s what I think…
