He has been training BJJ for roughly 24 years, with breaks for injuries and life, of course. He prefers gi over nogi, but he trains and teaches both. He had emergency intestine surgery in 2015, losing a foot of his small intestine, and was kept off the mats for 5 months. He spent 11 days in the hospital. One year to the day after he was released from the hospital, he competed in his first black belt tournament. His main health focus now is recovery so he can stay on the mats.Support the showSupport Our Podcast:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/oldmanonthematLike and comment on our social media below:(1) Facebookhttps://x.com/oldmanonthemat1https://www.tiktok.com/@old.man.on.the.mathttps://www.instagram.com/oldmanonthematwww.youtube.com/@oldmanonthematCheck out our AMAZING T-Shirts, Hoodies and Rash Guards @ www.OldManOnTheMat.comsupport us at:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2351260/supportThank you for listening!
