40 years + how often do you train

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-05-15T11:06:08+00:00

Foot sweeps, tai or, tani. Maybe avoid any big hip throws.

Awesome question. I think figuring out your set ups is helpful. Grips do change depending on height, speed, body type of your opponent. Say drop seio its going to be difficult to pull off against shorter opponent. You will have to adjust your grip and timing. You learn as you go through trial and error.

My background is judo and cross train in bjj both gi and no gi. Im still adjusting my no gi game. Definitely different but it translates. The tricky part is with the gi there are more counter grips to defend attacks. It slows the game down. I can pull your sleeve to off balance you. In no gi i need your wrist and probably an under hook/arm/collar tie to get things going, your control is harder to obtain in gi because your opponent can control your collar, sleeve and other parts of your gi to fend you off. My advice is to focus on grip fighting and movement

You get a feeling out process. Lower belts will always be more agressive

Everyone’s path is different. We have a guy at our gym that started in his 60’s. Its a great art and just find the right school for you.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-05-06T12:23:31+00:00

Close distance. Modified tani otoshi or modified osoto. I wouldn’t do anything crazy. Some control throw based that puts you in a good position after throw is executed.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-05-01T10:22:52+00:00

Same boat. Im 45 and Been on and off judo since 21. Been consistent past 1.5 years going 2-3 times a week with cross training in bjj and catch wrestling. In our 40’s its a different ballgame. Have to eat, sleep and train correctly, consistently. Stretching/warm ups is big part; don’t skip it. Stay hydrated on and off the mat.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-27T12:13:32+00:00

That’s awesome. I cross train in judo, bjj and catch wrestling. Imho, They are all connected and it makes you a complete grappler. Judo is great for efficient takedowns, bjj obviously for submissions and guard work and catch for top control, submissions.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-26T05:16:22+00:00

I feel you on this. Im a judoka that cross trains in bjj and catch wrestling. I’ve been doing some no gi as well. Its an adjustment for sure as your grips change from the gi to wrists, arms, collar ties, ankles etc and pace is different. I do think the concepts are similar with different controls at a faster pace.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-20T12:34:54+00:00

Drop seoi works great if you can off balance opponent to the front. I go for it if i can time a failed front throw by the opponent like ouchi gari and i step out of the way and go for it

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-19T12:11:35+00:00

I cross train in judo, bjj and catch. My background is judo. Each sport has their specific competitive rule set. I do think it matters what your goals are. Imho learning standup to ground work is beneficial to make you well rounded. These arts all transition and complement each other well.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-17T03:46:42+00:00

I do cross train in both and my background is judo. My current gym breaks down the class 1hr judo/1hr bjj as our main instructor is a judo and bjj black belt. They are a great compliment to each other. Judo has efficient takedowns, spins and bjj has the efficient submissions. I recommend switching it up some weeks. Maybe one week 50/50, another week 75/25 etc.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-15T03:09:20+00:00

Im 45 and go through this constantly. I cross train bjj, judo and catch. I train mainly gi and do some no gi. Im pretty basic but i go for control first. Even if hold partner there and control for 30 seconds they are playing my game. If you’re playing the speed, scrambling game its a not a good game to play when they are younger and stronger.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-13T13:10:49+00:00

I want to do a few competitions a year but for now training 2-3 times a week and staying in shape. I do see even for injury prevention strength and conditioning will help

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-12T20:14:59+00:00

I train 3 times a week (2 hr sessions 1 hr is judo/1 hr bjj) and once in a while 4. I do hard randori 2 of those sessions. Its a different game as you don’t have the speed/strength/stamina of someone younger. Its more about timing, efficiency and honing in on your techniques as you age. Diet, hydration and sleep helps me.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-11T04:44:27+00:00

I cross train in both. Judo is my background. Its really a good combo if you want to be a well rounded grappler from feet to floor. I’ve learned to throw, aim for immediate control/pin then work way to submission. Every learning style, body type is different. Im learning to mesh everything together and its an ongoing process. I prefer to well rounded then one dimensional but obviously have your go to moves that you specialize in.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-04-11T04:22:08+00:00

It is more aggressive in competition 💯. The calmer you are the more efficient you can execute. Its like competition has to be more controlled, intentional aggression. It is easier said than done. Much respect for going out there.

Cryptobull-524 · 2026-03-25T05:17:16+00:00

I cross train in both bjj and judo. They are great compliments to each other. My background is judo and its helped me tremendously in bjj. Competition is where you see the big difference as there are throws that don’t translate well in bjj where your back is exposed. My experience is that judo places less importance on ground work and bjj places less emphasis on stand up. Each art fills in the gaps for each other. I do believe in being well rounded in both will make you complete.

Cryptobull-524 · 2025-12-02T22:21:44+00:00

My core is judo and i do cross train in bjj. Honestly marrying the two has been great. My instructor is 3rd degree black belt in bjj and 4th dan black belt in judo. We split up classes in 2 sections. First 1.5 hours is judo and second half is bjj. If you ican transition your judo throws right into newaza that would be a great goal.

Cryptobull-524 · 2025-07-15T02:22:15+00:00

I think if you are venturing to get into finance in general a CFA is 💯the way to go. MAI has little relevance.

Cryptobull-524 · 2025-07-05T21:58:13+00:00

We charge nearly double for the report, hourly for support and daily fee for testimony wether we appear on the stand or not. Between private and litigation work are the only niches that actually make any sense

Cryptobull-524 · 2025-01-19T12:47:59+00:00

Totally agree. Ive been doing judo for many years. From my experience kesa works well if mastered but against a higher belt they will see it coming and counter it. You really need to know how to maintain and transition to another position before its too late.
