You can watch my black belt exam at Roy Dean’s UA-cam channel. The video is called No Mercy For Old Men:

Happy birthday from a 57 yr old one stripe white belt. You are plethora of information for us vintage grapplers !
I love this guys teaching style. Really really well explained. His students are lucky.
Wow great video thank you!!!
Thanks.
This is how we do it. Maybe 2-3 minutes of some basic streatching then we partner up and do 20 arm bars, 20 triangles, 20 umas, and 20 side control conversions. I usually have a good sweat going by then. Then it;s off to the daily lesson.
Belts only as good as the person wearing it. One of the most technically skilled instructors and jiu jitsu competitors I've ever known is a massive sack of sh*t!
Can't say I would ever submit myself to a belt test or promotion class.
Effenciency usually trumped by effectiveness
53 years old, been training for 9 months. Enjoying the heck out of the journey, but my body isn’t keeping up with what I want it to do. Back, r shoulder, l hand and l calf is giving me trouble, atm. I’d love put in four classes and four open mat sessions per week and get my blue belt before 54, but … there’s just no way I could. Trying something like that would get me too injured to train within a month, or tops two. I have to constantly be alert for new warnings from the old rustbucket I’m operating, and then I have write reverse to-do lists to force myself to back off and go light and slow and take rest days and so on and so forth. It is what it is, and if nothing big changes I’m calculating blue belt in 3-5 years. But that’s a significant “if”. We’ll see what happens.
At 33 yr old ex football player (Offensive Lineman) here, I'm already hurting more than I should after 10 round Tuesday. I realized quite fast there's only so many gym battles you can get in on some particularly brutal mats at my gym. I'm prioritizing drilling and being deliberate about how many of those Tuesday death matches I engage in. Or just break more between tough rounds like that.
I always had similar problems with the headphones. Bought a pair of Powerbeats Pros a year or so ago and they're easily the best headphones for activity and everything else I've ever had.
I came to verify what the difference is between a heel hook, and leg lock. My professor says not heel hooks, but I tried a leg lock the other day, and he seemed to get mad about it, although three blie belts have done it to me, and told me that it's okay to do. Why woukd bkue belts be able to do leg locks to me as a white belt, and I wouldn't be abld to do it to them?
Complete different perspective from you on internal vs external motivation. I feel that internal motivation is a better approach for guiding life, just my two cents.
51yr old 4 tip white. I suck. Loving the journey.
this really helps a lot for newbies like me to understand the overall basics.
Brilliant
I loathe belt tests. Absolutely useless
63
63 wb Yee Yee
54 blue belt for 24 years that may be a record I don’t know. we will definitely get along appreciate your content And happy birthday
I am not willing to be put in bad position even to keep it playful. That is how I get hurt. Stay on top as much as possible. Tap immediately to any good submission. Use frames and submissions. I admit that I do let whites and blues tap me out so they gain confidence when I feel safe. Follow the hip. I will give that a go.
I started bjj at age 63 and got purple belt at 68; I love the art of bjj and it seems that nothing would stop me from bjj study/research and training
This week marks my 3rd month of training bjj. I'm 72 years old and find the warm ups challenging but I continue to show up twice a week, and looking to add a 3rd day once my body adjusts and recovers better.
@@professorlatif bjj techniques are very artistic & Scientific, it is not only a best physical/fitness exercise for all people of ages, it is a true art of bare hand combat martial art science. You will, fore sure, benefit both physically and psychologically from participating the charming sport. Keep showing up to the class physically and study mentally at home.
Happy birthday Rick! As a 37 year old doing BJJ for 3 years, I hope to still be doing jiu-jitsu at 60!
hey man, doing BJJ I have achieved 100% reduction in blood flow to the brain on a few occasions. 40% sounds fine to me. Check out soundcore liberty pro ANC earbuds. Very good, very customizable. Very affordable. I really like mine.
Happy Birthday young man! Which one are you in the band???
Red guitar
Nice work man ❤
Thank you from this side of the grave! I will try to put this into practice.
From a 68 year old blue belt. Your an adolescent elder
Happy birthday!! Ya old MFer!! Woot! Woot! That video of you is awesome! Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine.
I'm in the masters 4 bracket. Apart from my coach, I'm the oldest guy in my gym. I received my blue belt tonight and I'm dreading how my training will manifest from now on. Your advice really helps. Thank you.
Great video
Congrats brother:)!
update? I tried this protocol. Injuries improved, but no clear way to know if/ or how much the peptides helped.
Look better than many 40 year olds I know!
Happy Birthday Rick - you don't look a day over 59 ;) ;)
Happy birthday, Rick! Looking forward to attending another Old Grappler’s Summit!
First of all happy birthday! Secondly, what gimbal are you using?
Damn, their knives are so expensive! Maybe I'll check back during Black Friday.
Happy birthday Rick! Your inspirational! I'm 72 and did Jiu-Jitsu 4 x last week. Grateful for every day I can function.❤
Next year you should get your purple belt🙏
🙏🥋💪
WHAT? Rick, you trained in Maine? Swing by Farmington sometime if you are back in the area.
Congratulations on the big 60. Maybe a trip to the UK is in order? There's free travel for pensioners ;)
Right there with you on the Blundstones. I have more expensive shoes but seem to fall back on those for easy, every day use.
From a 55 year old 3 stripe white belt, you are an inspiration
You started younger 😂
From 40 year old one stripe white belt …YOU are an inspiration keep rocking 🤙
Happy birthday. The white beard suits you!
Happy birthday Rick. You are doing great work keep going 👍
Rarely worth getting worried (or excited) by mechanistic studies. Look at the outcomes. Do coffee drinkers have brain problems? I notice Alzheimer’s Society website states coffee is associated with a reduction in chances of dementia.
Can't wait till you're 100 those courses will be free!
Happy belated birthday and father s day
Wow. Great video and what a great intro!
