What’s it really like to start jiu-jitsu later in life? In this episode, I sit down with my friend and training partner, Mark Green — a one-stripe white belt who began training in the fall of 2023 at age 37. We dig into the doubts we had before stepping on the mats, the physical and mental challenges of training as adults, and the surprising rewards that keep us coming back. From sore joints and busy schedules to the joy of small breakthroughs, Mark and I share what the journey has been like so far. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s “too late” to start jiu-jitsu, this conversation will give you both perspective and encouragement.
