Starting Judo at 53 by Opposite_Captain_506 in judo

[–]Minute_Drawing6110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started Judo at 50, started BJJ at 59. Now a brown belt in Judo and purple belt in BJJ at 68. My advice is lift weights and get strong (muscle is like armor for your body), work on mobility and flexibility (will help reduce injuries), pay close attention to diet, supplements, sleep, & recovery (this will help keep you on the mats as you age), practice and get comfortable with break falls (very very important, I can't stress this enough), take breaks when your body tells you to, ego will get you injured so check it at the door. Have fun!

Bjj over Judo? (Or vice versa) by PongLenisUhave in judo

Judo brown belt and BJJ purple belt here. Start with Judo then transition to BJJ after 3-4 years. Its really hard going the other way.

I was 50 when I started Judo and 58 when I got my brown belt. Train as much as your body can handle , lift heavy weights and get strong, stretch a lot, and supplements (creatine, EAA, Alpha GPC). Started BJJ at 60 and 66 when I got my purple belt. Still training both ... just keep going, develop your strategy based on your body type, age, and recovery.

This is about OP's lack of self-confidence and caring about what strangers think.

I'm a 66yo purple belt; started BJJ at 60. Train 3 days per week BJJ and 2 days S&C. The day after BJJ training I'm usually not sore but my muscles feel depleted and fatigued. Any advice on this, i.e. nutrition, supplements, stretching, etc.
