older grapplers in bjj Archives

What’s up guys!

So, today’s video is going to be a little different.

It’s more of a BJJ Vlog.

I’ll take you guys into one of our day-to-day Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sessions. In this class we were focusing on smash passing in the Gi, specifically passing from top half guard.

The techniques in this video are pretty basic and build off of some Half Guard & Underhook passing techniques that we focused on in the weeks prior to this class.

You’ll get to see me teach some of my favorite Chest-to-Chest passing techniques, how to get around the Knee Shield of your opponents, some live Jiu-Jitsu rolling, and more.

The techniques in this video work well for anyone, but it’s definitely a great one if you’re a little older, a little bigger, a little less athletic, or if you just want to shut down your speedy, or leg lock heavy, opponents.

On top of all of that, the techniques in the video work well in both Gi and No-GI.

Hopefully you guys find a few ideas in the video useful and just had fun watching the vlog!

Today we have a question from Victor, who has an issue that all of us are going to, or already have, experienced at some point in our BJJ Journeys.

He is 56 years old, a blue belt, started training Jiu-Jitsu when he was 48 years old, and is a relatively small grappler.

Victor says he has no athletic background and has struggled with certain handicaps in the past. He also says when he’s training, he feels a bit clumsy, and he really struggles to find any success during his rolls.

He says that he was recently rolling with one of the younger upper belts and became very discouraged. When his coach saw this, he said to Victory that he should “Just have fun”.

This apparently triggered something in Victor, and he send this question:

What do you do when Jiu-Jitsu is no longer fun for you, and you know you’re not going to get better?

Well, in this video I try to dive deep into that question and chew on a few ideas surround this issue that many people in the Grappling community run into at some point or another.

Hopefully if you’ve found yourself in a rut like Victor, then the ideas in this video are helpful to you.
