THE PECKSSS I WANNA GRAB

Cream and sweetener in your coffee?

I feel I’m going to pull something in my back

Hi Al, I’m 54 (55 in September) and in November last year my 10 year old son and I started practicing Karate at our local dojo. We have just achieved our first grading together, you wouldn’t believe how chuffed and proud I am for both of us (especially my son). We have a long term goal of getting our Black Belt together, and as you are aware that is just the beginning. So please, I would love to hear more about your journey too, Good Luck !

great way to lose muscle too

I've personally been teetering back and forth with starting some form of MMA training, but the fear of starting something completely new like this has kept me back. I would love to hear your experience!!

Always great advice Al

Welcome to the cult...I mean club brother! It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding yet rewarding activity I ever have started!

I’d like to hear more about it especially how you train to get a synergistic effect from the two disciplines of Jiu Jitsu and Calisthenics.

Al- What training program did you use to gain enough to be able to perform muscle ups and front levers?

Hey Al, I'd love to have you on my podcast to talk about jiujitsu and calisthenics!

Great advice 👍🏾

I really enjoyed this video and would like to see moee

Would love to hear how you are combining calisthenics training with bjj!

Starting woodworking at 58, working on my 1998 model truck myself as new things break, trying to grow vegetables in the desert, starting a new career at 60. Dang! I wish I knew anything other than a beginners mindset!

I think it would be interesting to explore the overlapping points of JJ and calisthenics. As a former judoka I would love to hear your thoughts on your learning process, especially being such an authority in calisthenics. Because, keep in mind that JJ is another form of bodyweight training.

Yes--more please. I've also thought about Jiu Jitsu as well.

Nice!!!

i'm a former powerlifter from 50 years ago. i started training calisthenics about 4 years ago. i'm a beginner and i understand what you're saying here, al. i'll also be 70 next month and i'm grateful and fortunate to be able to do what i'm doing. trying new things=growth.

I’m more of a roll around with the girls than the boys 😅 Easier to pin down lol Cheers bud 👍

Great topic!! YES!! Please do talk about your new path of training BJJ!! I also started doing BJJ in my mid forties last year as well (which I started to supplement my skillset for my occupation) and I think it pairs well with bodyweight calisthenics!! Keep sharing! Also, are you doing just No-Gi or are you doing Gi BJJ as well?

Thats so cool AL! I started BJJ about 4 years ago and I'm having a blast.

You are such a great trainer the beginner mind is such a great lesson I’ve been watching you for 2 years now and your never cease to impress

Has your strength training changed now that you are training martial arts? I'm interested in how strength training and mobility has helped your BJJ journey.

So dumb

How do you get such subtitles?

More bjj content👍

Al, there’s a lot of jujitsu content out there already. BJJ has already become quite mainstream in the martial arts world; some say that it is now going through the commercialization phase that Karate went through after it became popular because of the Karate Kid movie (with Mr. Myagi). Actually MMA in general has already become quite mainstream. The UFC is already old news; One Champ is the hottest thing right now. So if you start diving into this topic, everyone and their mother would have an opinion about jiujitsu, or about this technique or that technique, or even this martial art or that martial art, or this self defense system or that self defense system. So unless you are as interested about this topic as you are about the topic of working out, it’s best not to start going down that rabbit hole. That said, videos about your experience going from a person of authority & a teacher of something to being a student again (especially as someone of middle age where it’s typically more challenging to set aside your ego at that age) using learning jiujitsu for the first time (& actually sticking to it) as an example, and sharing all the struggles you went through trying to learn this stuff, i think that topic could be quite interesting.

What about zevia? The soda?

Hey hey hey Al! I’ve been following you for a looong time. Done some of your books. My name is also Al, so just so you know, that’s what first attracted me to your books jaja. I completely share every word you said to the T. I am also right in my mid forties and started jiujitsu about four months ago. I have been embracing it all, but had gotten some injuries along the way, people are out there throwing each other around pretty hard. Right now I’m dealing with a knee injury from all the weight and knee bending. I’m wondering about your injuries? How have you done so far? Thanks 🙏 keep rocking.

To be in shape you have to be young and/or have good genetics.

Al, would love to hear more about the jiu jitsu!

Feel free! I'd love to hear your thoughts on jujitsu.

And that's why he can fit in children's swim trunks

Al, you could post a video of you doing a paint-n-sip and I would still watch it. Really missed the longer vids man! Keep being amazing!

Would love to hear more about your BJJ journey, how your calisthenics training has correlated with it and if you changed anything in your training since starting bjj! I’m a purple belt in bjj and a calisthenics lover, but definitely found it hard to mix the two to keep my aesthetic goals

Share your journey!

Hey, hey, hey, Al! Yes, more jujitsu, please!

Martial arts are awesome to combine with calisthenics awesome. You could also talk about High intensity training techniques applied to calisthenics..

Calisthenics + Jits! Oss!

Calisthenics and bjj go hand in hand. It will help tremendously with your game and more importantly, protect your joints and other areas of the body that can receive damage due to the high demands of the gentle art! Would love to hear more about jiu jitsu in your videos!

I agree al, thanks again

Yes more

I'm cool hearing more about the Jiu-Jitsu. You're good at finding the lesson in whatever you're doing, and it's always worth hearing.

I'd like to hear more on this. Thanks!

Definitely would like to hear about your first days and weeks starting bjj

Been training Jiujitsu for 6 years and I gotta say man, calisthenics and jiujitsu pair up so incredibly well.

Right on!

I used to drink allot of powdered whey and egg protein powders. I lost the taste for them and was disgusted with them the last time I had one, now I only eat real food and just take stuff for my joints and blood flow. I just down raw eggs and mix plain Greek yogurt and honey with fruit before I lift weights now
