He was 50 and she was 49 in 1995. Not too far off.

I can’t get that old, ever. I am 45 next year, and it’s like Oscar Wilde had said: “The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young” and you have to show that. Starting with jiu jitsu next month. Let’s roll!

BJJ will keep you mentally young but your body will start feeling a lot older. Upside is that it’ll be able to do more cool stuff.

Only if you let it. Treat every injury as a sign to rest and recover, don’t overdo it, and don’t fight a submission you already lost.

I’ve been doing it for 17 years and I feel great. Had a few injuries over the years and I always take time off and do active recovery instead while I’m injured.

Oh I know not to fight when something is lost, but in nogi my shit just gets wrecked superfast because it’s so explosive and people treat your neck like it’s a handle.

I’ve been doing martial arts in general for almost 30 years now, and I definitely was too careless when I was young. Bad advice about injuries where I got sent to a chiropractor instead of a surgeon meant I already had to get hip surgery before I had turned 40. (Bad FAI angles aggravated by trying to break through the pain, for over a decade, since I believed everyone I was being lazy and soft) I’m luckily more careful now, but there’s still days where I’m in pain just from walking or driving my car.
