Chewy and Eugene discuss how clinging to the idea of only using “Old Man Jiu-Jitsu” as an older grappler can actually hinder your BJJ game.
We chat about how our desire for simple answers to complex problems can impact progress, why you should avoid being restrictive with your Jiu-Jitsu, the importance of learning to adjust your guard passing based on your opponent’s guard, Chewy’s preferred way to pass a leg locker’s guard, choosing your “mat battles” wisely, how adjusting training intensity has improved Chewy’s longevity in Jiu-Jitsu, Chewy's simple rule for diet that helped his joints feel better, using your down time wisely, the BJJ belt with the largest skill discrepancy, and if you're you ever too old to start Jiu-Jitsu.
