I am 70 years old 6-3, 165 purple belt ex world class track athlete. I rarely get tapped by any belt including black belts of any weight because I took the time in my earlier belts to learn patience, timing and technique, I rarely use strength mostly body position. I developed a very good understanding of what can happen in all positions. Instead of trying to tap everybody I learned how to escape everybody, it's a brain game to me.

I recently went against a big 200lb 6'1 foot 19 year old kid in open weight. he's a blue and I'm a purple but I'm 148 and 48. he killed me....but I still have a full head of dark black hair and his hairline is noticably receding. I'll take that as my win.

Wow, thanks for those tips, guys. I’m a 58 year old blue belt, and I pretty much get crushed every time I go up against guys that are 20 to 30 years younger, heavier and stronger. I’ve learned/am still learning the hard way to slow everything down, control the old ego and never go force against force. Framing, positioning and maintaining posture/alignment are things that have consistently helped me, and any successes I have are generally due to these factors. I might sometimes get away with a surprise Iminari roll or rolling kimura when my opponent thinks I’m gased and doesn’t expect it, but it’s a rare thing and not a reliable strategy. That advice about controlling the hips is gold. Definitely going to be working on that!

Just turned 50, been a purple belt for a year. Have lived with debilitating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since 2004 (started in 1993 when I was 19) and I have NO problem with the age gap. My medications allow me to function 3-4 hours a day so I use the time to exercise, train, and keep up my house. And honestly? I don't feel like my age has been a hindrance. Sure, recovery time is ABSOLUTELY a factor. But if you eat well, train for strength, LISTEN to your professors when they tell you to SLOW THE HELL DOWN, and develop some actual technique to go with your attributes, you should be able to mitigate quite effectively the advantages that come with your training buddies' youth and speed. I'm honestly baffled at the number of students who absolutely WILL NOT slow down, then spend years wondering why their technique doesn't go anywhere. The simplest piece of advice in the world but people tend to receive it like they've just been asked to kick a puppy to death.

If you haven't tried it already, try creatine monohydrate...it sometimes helps with some symptoms of CFS.

For a more “Freeform” kind of video you put a lot of great stuff in there. Going to have to watch again with paper and pencil.

I am not willing to be put in bad position even to keep it playful. That is how I get hurt. Stay on top as much as possible. Tap immediately to any good submission. Use frames and submissions. I admit that I do let whites and blues tap me out so they gain confidence when I feel safe. Follow the hip. I will give that a go.

If there is anything that I have learnt from you, it is to slow the game right down and wait for opportunities.
