I'm loving this shyt. Realizing I have pretty good instincts and athleticism, so I can't wait until I start to put the information together. Humbling to tap so much, but makes me want to figure out how they get me.

man ive learned so many small details that has helped my game at my new academy. right now im working on going completely against my instinct and using as little strength as i can. its made me focus so much on technique. im really enjoying this journey.

enjoy breh and keep going :salute:

Are you guys caring about supplements for training and recovery? Special mix, brands?

I know this is a BJJ thread but any art taught by a good instructor will be good for you. BJJ is good to learn but as an experienced martial artist I would say you should learn how to fight standing up first. Most of the older UFC/MMA guys started in traditional styles. Also UFC rules prohibit several different types of strikes, area's where you can hit, and some throws. In fighting when all things are equal the person that is in the best physical shape will win. Especially in a 1 v 1 setting. To do any type of MMA you have to be in peak physical condition. The bum in a bar thinking he can fight a trained mma guy will lose every time.

To anyone that wants to start training at any age I would say pick a style you are interested in and sit in on a few classes. It all depends on the head instructor's skill and attitude to fighting as to how far you will go. Also remember it takes a long time to get good. The people that would walk into the school I attended and would ask about a black belt I would say 3 years for the belt and 5 to feel comfortable with applying the skills you have learned. Enjoy your martial arts journey the ranks will come when you earn them.
