I had a late late start on fighting
I did a little boxing in college in 1996

Not until 2011 that I went full nuts at it lol

I started in Krav Maga for 4 yrs . I was berg happy but I knew the system had huge flaws !!
It’s very karate and military system

I then did 4 yrs of MT and loved it
I quit in 2017.. I become obsessed with grappling at 43 with zero exp
I had to jump in but was terrified !!! I was scared
I have been doing no GI BJJ
I did not even know what a under hook or toe hold was ??
Now BJJ showed me zero Take downs and I was the worst in the class
I knew I had to learn wrestling at age 43
I hired a coach then my school open up at MMA beg class and every day I have been doing something
I even do boxing once a week too

BJJ is hard as physics for me

I am 44 but super lean
Don’t let age stop you
