Episode 2: Training Like You're Old Isn't Just For Old People

from The Old Bastard's Guide to Surviving (and Thriving) on the Mats

Hey friends! In this episode, I share my personal experience with chronic autoimmune disease and how it shaped my philosophy toward training for longevity on the mats. I also talk about how this can help grapplers of any age to reduce injury, keep training longer, and increase the enjoyment they get out of their practice. I talk about the nuts and bolts of how to do this day to day, and how this might translate to not only the casual grappler, but the practitioner who wants to keep competing as they get older. I also shout out a bunch of other friends and content creators who have influenced me along the way! As always, thanks for listening and happy rolling!
