Avoid Becoming Victim to This Older Grappler Mental Trap in BJJ

Avoid Becoming Victim to This Older Grappler Mental Trap in BJJ

From Chewjitsu

April 2, 2026

So, I got a question from a 45 year old Blue Belt, who is making the #1 mistake older grapplers make with their mindset in training.

Some of us who are a bit older and even more experienced make this grappling mistake too.

This same thing has come up a bunch in my Masters Vault program. I want older/masters aged grapplers to enjoy BJJ and so, hopefully you find this video helpful.

If you dealing with the issues I addressed in this video, let me know if this was useful.

Thanks for watching.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
