Are you a Jiu-Jitsu white belt over 40, wondering when you should enter your first competition? I’ve been there.
I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 43, and even now at 50, competing still scares me. But facing that fear has changed my life — again and again.
In about 6 minutes, I share:
- what my very first BJJ tournament really felt like
- what fear does to you before you step on the mat
- why competing hits different after 40
- what I learned from losing (many times)
- and why “someday” never comes unless you choose it
If you’re thinking about entering your first competition, tell me in the comments. I’d love to cheer you on.
And if you’ve already had your first tournament, share your story too — your experience might give another over-40 white belt the courage to sign up.
See you on the mat. OSS.
