Here’s a long form video to address questions from our 40 Plus BJJ Facebook group about skill development, injuries, training volume and intensity, and more.
One recent question in particular was representative of how a lot of our members feel (at least at some point):

I’m 55 n go hard w these 20 year olds. Takes me a week to recover from a 2 hour rolling session.
