Many athletes have found out the hard way that people get less flexible with age, and this can be especially frustrating when you’re involved in a sport like jiu-jitsu.
Thankfully, other older BJJ athletes are stepping up to the plate to demonstrate ways to keep your body feeling young and mobile. Reddit user jhoffe00 uploaded this video showing his 56-year-old dad — a BJJ black belt — practicing some stretches that can help other jiujiteiros stay flexible and injury-free as they age. According to jhoffe00, this is just the first video on Joe-Zone BJJ’s brand new YouTube channel, so make sure you subscribe if you want more of this kind of content!
