Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard! How many times per day do YOU train?
I try to get a minimum of 2 hours drilling / sparring per day, plus teaching lessons and classes. And hitting the gym a couple times a week for weightlifting.
Proud to represent my team iQ Jiu-Jitsu, and my sponsors Fuji Sports and SteemitBJJ!
I train three times a week most of the year, four times in the summer. If I get the random extra day off I get in the fourth day. I'm not a young man, so I need at least a day or two in between for recovery.
39 here. Recovery is a much larger part of training now. Before about 37, I could go all day, every day.
That brown belt is looking like its seen some miles :) oss, I train an hour in the a.m, 2 hours at night, and do mobility training/weight usually mid day after am prac...keep killin it dude
You shoulda saw his purple belt!!
@cryptofighter that's awesome brotha. Keep grinding hard! Where do you train?
I try to train jits 4-6 times per week. It's a mix of sparring, drilling, and technique. As I've gotten older, I've had to listen to my body more, so 2-3 days off a week is needed when my hip is out of alignment.
Besides jiu jitsu I got the gym for light weightlifting and cardio about 4 days per week. I've also introduced yoga and ground movement 3 days a week.
I also am glad I have training partners who train like beasts everyday!
Yeah, getting old hurts when you want to stick with BJJ. LOL
The funny thing is, I find if I take too much time off I hurt more and BJJ loosens me up. But, if I do too much I'm pretty sore. Taking BCAA's has helped with the soreness.
That's awesome dude! Listening to your body is very important - and it sounds like you're getting a nice mixture of training, strengthening, and recovering.
Great post! I am a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach! I also teach self-defense. You are an inspiration! I try to work out once in the morning and once in the evening. Cardio and self-defense in the morning and weight training in the evening. I try to do it every day and I usually take Sundays off. Please keep in touch my Friend! I am following you and I upvoted! Wishing you the very best of health and happiness! :)
@extraterrestrial Thank you for the kind words. Sounds like you are also hitting it up hard and consistently!
My pleasure! Thank you for the reply! I am trying my best my Friend! :)
Awesome! What type of self-defense do you teach?
Hi framelalife! Thank you so much for the upvote and reply! It is beyond appreciated! I teach many forms of self-defense. I am 36 years old and it is my passion to help others.

STOPI train 7-10 times per week. During bad weeks I train 5. (This includes 3 private classes i teach every week which is not full training but it has warm up technique and sparring.)
