Summary

Chewy and Eugene discuss how clinging to the idea of only using “Old Man Jiu-Jitsu” as an older grappler can actually hinder your BJJ game.

We chat about how our desire for simple answers to complex problems can impact progress, why you should avoid being restrictive with your Jiu-Jitsu, the importance of learning to adjust your guard passing based on your opponent’s guard, Chewy’s preferred way to pass a leg locker’s guard, choosing your “mat battles” wisely, how adjusting training intensity has improved Chewy’s longevity in Jiu-Jitsu, Chewy's simple rule for diet that helped his joints feel better, using your down time wisely, the BJJ belt with the largest skill discrepancy, and if you're you ever too old to start Jiu-Jitsu.

Special Bonus: If you leave a review for the podcast on your favorite podcast platform, please e-mail the podcast at [email protected] or message @chewjitsupodcast on Instagram and we will send you a free BJJ mobility routine (offer ends 8/1/2023).

0:00.0	What up guys? Welcome to the podcast today. Eugene and I are going to dive into an idea based
0:06.0	off of a conversation I had with one of my brown belts the other day about why old man
0:10.9	jih Tjitsu is BS. And if it's not complete BS, then it's at least, at the very least, it can be
0:17.5	very restrictive. Now, I know that some of you guys we have a i know we have
0:21.7	several older fellas and older ladies that listen to this podcast you've got your rash cards
0:26.7	at a bunch right now like relax for me i'm going to explain what i mean in just a minute but we'll go
0:31.8	into this idea because again with my brown belt him trying to play air quotes old man jih Tjitsu was actually hindering his game.
0:40.4	And then when he like let go of that idea, things got a little bit better.
0:43.5	And I'll explain what I mean in a second and give you a few ideas that you want is always in the podcast.
0:47.7	So I'm going to get sick around.
0:49.2	And again, thank you so much for being here.
0:51.1	Big thanks to our sponsors for helping make the podcast happen.
0:53.7	Charlotte's Web.
0:54.8	Charlotte's Web, CBD, if you've never checked them out at their website, charlesweb.com.
0:58.3	A cool thing that I found recently was, it's not really, it's actually not cool at all,
1:02.5	but it's something that I find interesting. So there were some researchers, they did a study,
1:06.9	and some researchers found that about 57, they took 57 different supplements, and they found that 40% of them didn't include the ingredients that were on the label.
1:16.4	So there were ingredients that were missing, ingredients that had been added, nearly 50% listed inaccurate amounts of the ingredients, 12% had added, 12% had added illegal substances, and only 11% of the products
1:30.8	reviewed had the correct quantity of what they said was listed. It's only 11% of these 57
1:36.3	supplements when you know, you said, here's the label. That was what was in it. I thought that
1:40.9	was interesting because this is something we've talked about numerous times with CBD. CBD is an unregulated market, right? It's not FDA regulated right now. And so
1:49.2	when you get CBD, you can flip it around and it'll say this is how much, you know, stuff is in it.
