About this listen

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu doesn't come with an expiration date—but training like you're 20 when you're over 40 certainly does. Old Grappler Handbook is your comprehensive guide to sustainable, high-level BJJ practice designed specifically for the 40+ athlete who refuses to choose between longevity and excellence.

This isn't a watered-down approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for "older" practitioners. It's a technically superior methodology that prioritizes mechanical efficiency, strategic thinking, and intelligent training design over youthful athleticism. Whether you started BJJ in your forties like the author, or you're a longtime practitioner watching younger training partners progress and heal faster than you do, this handbook is for you. It's for the grappler who understands that mat time is precious and injuries are expensive. It's for anyone committed to the long game and improving year after year.
