Deep Butterfly Half for Graham & Pete

[GrahamB]

In my 40s and I don't lift weights and still don't really feel the need to - I find Chi Kung / Taoist yoga / tai chi type stuff keeps my joints healthy and people continually comment that I'm "strong" - I think internal arts are just the perfect compliment to Bjj. Although if I ever get to the point where I think my strength is fading I'll probably look at weights but right now I don't feel like I need it.

My tip for those in their 30s and not yet their 40s: Stop complaining. You got it good.

Note: Anyone in their 50s training jiu jitsu can tell me where to put it.

Just remember...



Then again he wasn't in his fifties.

In case anyone missed the McGregor thread.

Renner was a commentator on the first Metamorris and was genuinely terrible - he didn't explain the action very well and kept saying "interesting" over and over, and saying "my grandfather's jiujitsu" every 2 minutes. He was a disaster.

You mean it wasn't "AMAZING?"

This is hilarious! Thanks for sharing. I missed it the first time around.

Best,
Greg

Thanks for the link, it was an interesting read from a younger mans perspective. If thats what it like to be old and train though, then I guess I feel old already. Having studied externals for the first 19 years of my MA training and at that pointing switching over to more "internal" training, I feel similar (to the articles author) any time I roll with someone of reasonable skill who's intent is to win. Even when I'm able to match their intensity, I feel like whats the point? Personally, I'm happy to make an "investment in loss". Although I suppose I'm not feeling old so much as lazy (lol maybe thats what being older can feel like though ?), I just don't like being tense in the slightest anymore, and I'm not yet at a level where I can overpower just anyone with my relaxedness. So when people try really hard, I just stay safe and wait for them to fuck up, works for me more often than not.

Oh and that Rener Lemonade Recipe is off the hook!

I'm worried about Dennis - always going to sleep like that isn't good. I think it's brain damage from his MMA fights..

[grzegorz]

Damn!

I just about what happened to Nunes from the break up a fight thread.

[GrahamB]

Ouch.
