Ten Competitions before Blue Belt with 49yo Johnny Cheng

from Rolling over 40: The podcast for jujitsu practitioners who are proving that age is just a number · host Conor Whelan

In this episode, I sit down with a 49-year-old three-stripe white belt who has packed a lot into just two years of training. Despite being relatively new to jiu-jitsu, he's already competed seven times and has set a personal goal of reaching double digits before earning his blue belt.We talk about what drives him to compete so often, his evolving game, and how he somehow seems to know the name of every guard—from octopus and rubber to williams and coyote. If you enjoy hearing a lot of white belt insight, this episode is packed!
