If you’re an older guy in your BJJ gym (30+ years old) do you get discouraged because the younger people in your gym are able to get good so fast?

Our friend Nelson sent in a question regarding this situation.

Basically he is training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and getting bummed out because the younger grapplers in his gym are getting good so fast.

He’s also bummed by the fact that he will never be a world champion competitor.

He’s to the point where he’s wondering. . . “is it even worth it?”

In this video I talk about a couple of the differences I see between olders and younger grapplers.

I compare them both from my experience as a younger guy who started Brazilian Jiujitsu. But also as a coach who sees the struggles of my older students.

When you watch the video, I hope you take away the idea that you don’t want to judge yourself and your experience solely based upon the experiences.

As I talk about in the video. If I was focused on just being the best competitor only and got discouraged because I’m not the best. I would have missed my own unique experiences.

I hope the video is helpful if you’re an older person in BJJ and struggling with a similar situation.

Have you ever looked at some of the higher level people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and wondered if you could get to that point with your competition abilities?

This is the question from our friend George who is new to BJJ and wants to become a high level BJJ competitor. But his worry is that he is too old. He’s 18.

In this video I share the fact that I think it’s more than possible for him to become high level in Brazilian Jiujitsu if he goes after it. But ultimately what I think doesn’t matter.

What matters is that George takes action towards what he wants. That’s the only way he will find out if he can truly be a good Brazilian Jiujitsu competitor.

I also touch on the mental block that seems to be coming with our friend.

If you’re interested in being a BJJ competitor or have a dream that you’re chasing. I hope this video is useful to you.

Thanks for watching!
