Roy Marsh from Roy Marsh Jiu Jitsu (black belt under Royce Gracie) shares with us several tips for older grapplers:
- Against stronger, more explosive, younger opponents, you can not overpower them
- The modern BJJ competition is based on overwhelming the opponent
- But for older guys this is not feasible
- The solution is applying a pressure-based game, a control-based game
- Take away from them their explosiveness
- Positional dominance, positional control, application of weight… are your weapons
- Drag them down to your level, instead of trying to chase their capabilities
- Work on slowness and control, fatigue your adversary
- Mentally break them
Here’s the full video. We hope you find it useful!
