too old

[jipped genes]

Yep is it time for me to stop? i am getting too slow. my reflexes are not what they were 20 years ago. my cardio is OK but nothing like the 20ish year old guys in my camp.

i seem to always get hurt and it puts me out for a month. these young guys steam roll through me.

i took a beating a week ago, my pride says keep going but my "good sense" says stop.

yep, broken nose. y'all may remember a about 3 years ago I had it reconstructed after breaking it real bad. my wife is pissed.

would you stop? i am no pro fighter, not even really a fighter but i understand guys like chuck liddell. i want to keep training. i want to spar. ...........but should I?

Re: too old

Why not just put all your effort into BJJ and compete in grappling tournaments? That may fulfill your competitive nature.

That is really a question only you can answer. If it is pissing your wife off, then that would weigh a lot considering you aren't a fighter. That is a tough one man....giving up one of your passions...there is never an easy answer

Re: too old

Jipped just train hard and learn but dont spar as hard or grapple as hard.If we arent making money off this and we are getting hurt then say to your self why am I putting my body through this. Yes I go hard also and sometimes tweak my back,hip,knee or pull a muscle hear or there from kick boxing. God knows I have broke my foot already but I know my body now and its sad but I have to say I'm not 21 anymore.In our 40's our bodies break down more and we start to get more injuries if we let it. But my penis is 21 still because of the gear I use and thats going to stay like that for many years to come.

Re: too old

Damn jipped I dont know where to start brah, im feelin' ya cause im kinda in the same boat, I mean im realizing 44 is 44 and next year is 46 and I cant just hang and get caught up in bad habits anymore. these young dudes are all looking good and are in shape they dont have fourty something years of abuse on'em like we do. I dont wanna get a beer gut and be all layed up and outta shape like the other guys my age, my girlfriend smokes all day, and drinks just about every other day and gets pissed off at me cause I dont spend enough time with her. I know from experience you gotta live for you cause you never know when the Lord is gonna pull your card, now granted I know you got a wife and a child but man ya got to be happy with yourself some f'ing how without hurting anybody ? so watcha thinking about doing ? We're here for you jipped,..ya ol' dog.

Re: too old

yA KNOW I BEEN PRACTICING MARTIAL ARTS FOR 30 YEARS. OF COURSE MY TRAINING PAST 15 -20 HAS EVOLVED MORE IN SELF PROTECTION AS I DONT PREFER TO ENGAGE IN SPORT OR COMPETITION. I TEACH UNDERGROUND CIVILIANS AND SOLDIER HOW TO SAVE THEIR LIFE. ITS VERY DIFFERENT FROM ,"RING TRAINING" NO CONDITIONING OR POWER IS NEEDED. PART OF THE LESSON IS HOW AS YOU GET OLDER EVEN THOUGH PHYSICAL STREGHTN AND REFLEXS GO- YOUR MIND CAN STILL ABSORB INFORMATION- SCIENCE CAN OVERCOME BRUTE POWER. MOST OF THE GREATEST MASTERS IN THIS CENTURY TRAINED AND TAUGHT WELL INTO THEIR 80S AND 90S. MAYBE ITS JUST TIME TO PURSUE A DIFFERENT PATH

Are u aging 2 years at a time? Were u born on a leap year? lol.

I think like everyone else has said, keep up the training just less with the sparring, and maybe stick to the BJJ and grappling.

all in would be a real fight. i realize i am past that in my life. i sit here with my nose throbbing breathing through my mouth because my nasal passages are jacked. i am uncomfortable.

yet just 10 minutes ago i was looking at the full face cage head gear like the above. i think that would solve my problems? do they make thigh pads so when a guy kicks your leg you can walk without a limp the next day?

maybe i should just train and stop comparing myself to the young guys
