On this episode we discuss whether Jiu-Jitsu black belts who are older and struggle with and even lose to lower belts, are still considered a legit black belt.
We discuss the aging grappler, and how age impacts mindset and performance on the mats.
We also chat about adjusting your mindset, changing your training, and also why and how to humble yourself.
We answer the question of what are the qualities of a legit black belt, why hiring coaches to improve aspects of your game/diet are vital, and dealing with the inevitable changes you go through over time.
