Who you roll with really matters — especially as an older grappler. The wrong partner can cause injuries and setbacks, while the right one helps you stay on the mats for years.

In this clip, black belt instructor Marc Barton shares Tip #1 from his Top 5 Tips for Older Grapplers video. A former emergency medicine doctor who started BJJ at 30 and earned his black belt at 40, Marc now trains and teaches full-time at 49 — stronger and more resilient than ever.

It is better to train 2 x per week for 10 years or 2 x per day for 3 years?

I share some of my ideas on training frequency and some ideas on longevity in BJJ.
