As an older athlete, you need technical and strategic solutions to be effective at Jiu Jitsu
What you don't need is to match your opponent's strength and speed. You've tried that approach. It doesn't work.
You need technical answers, effective strategies, efficient transitions, and proper defensive structures.
That's what you'll get in this course.

I'M RICK
I'm living proof that you can start Jiu Jitsu in your 40s and go on to become a blackbelt. I earned mine under legendary Professor Roy Dean. You can see my belt promotion here.
When I was new at BJJ my strategy was to match my training partner's speed, power, and strength. In fact, if they went hard, I tried to go even harder.
But as you get older, that's a terrible strategy, one that will get you injured. Trust me, I know that first hand.
So what is the answer? The answer is to build a game with enough technical options to be successful. That's what I teach you in this course.
