The reviews
Age Is Just Another Advantage
A refreshingly practical instructional built around efficiency rather than athleticism. Ellis shows how to use positioning, pressure, timing, and interconnected systems to frustrate younger, stronger opponents without trying to match their speed. Excellent material for anyone who wants a sustainable, intelligent BJJ game that will hold up as they age.

Excellent course for an old dude like myself. Lots of techniques that I can get my head round and some great systems too.

BJJ Old Man Style
I’mconsidered an old man for jits and this instructional has helped me in the gym slow the faster guys down.
Great tips for old guys like me
Some nice stuff in here for older grapplers who lack mobility. Some golden nuggets and strategies on baiting as well from Roy Dean.
Essential for the older jujitero
Rick has an excellent style and presentation which is easy to follow and understand. As an older practitioner I found great benefit from this tutorial. Highly recommended.
Excellent
Thank you
Can't thank you enough.
Easily the best video I've purchased. I immediately started using the strategies involved in particular the open guard passing. As an older practitioner I've had to adjust my game and this video helps tremendously. Precise detailed instructions that aid in reduced energy expenditure. Thank you Rick! Also having Roy Dean was an added bonus!

Old Man BJJ
Rick keeps things simple and these techniques are good and don’t require a lot of athleticism.
BJJ Old Man Style
Professor Rick Ellis shows straight away short cuts from standing to submissions on the ground via position to submission. From position to position via using the transition to attack. The ground game is based on the same pillars. Concepts and techniques are kept short and concise. Great details about body positioning!

I really like the way Rick teaches, and the selection of techniques that he teaches. very relatable.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Such a great teacher
Rick is such a great teacher, articulates his concepts very well, no need to play catch up with the young guys if your older
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗A good instructional for older practitioners
Ellis presents an excellent instructional for those of us who are aging or have come into jiujitsu later in life. Changing ones mindset from power and speed to patience and timing is hard at the best of times. But in this instructional Ellis provides multiple techniques to assist in looking at a different way to approach and modify your game as Father Time turns his attention to you.

Lots of tips to avoid injury and keep in the game as you get older. My joints appreciate that.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great product
I love the choice of techniques, the camera work, Rick's way of teaching, and Roy Dean's special guest appearance :D
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗efficient moves
It is interesting how these similar moves naturally occur when we get older.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Simple, yet effective system
This instructional is great because it's a system! You get a basic, yet effective system that you can perfect and modify through out your bjj career. It's not just for old guys. Basics never die.

BJJ old man style
Excellent as always
I really enjoy listening and learning from Rick
So for me Rick is one of those people that I just enjoy listening to and learning from. He speaks in way that is very easy to follow and is very to the point with just the right amount of extra stuff to keep you engaged. I have follwed his Youtube channel for a while now, I have one of his seminars and now I own this piece. I am an older out of shape BJJ student and I can say I have used a lot of Ricks teachings along with other resources in an attempt to improve my game. Check out his Youtube and if you like the way he speaks and if you find him easy to follow then I would say grab this instructional. You will not be disappointed. He is loaded with great information and insight.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻I really liked this instructional.
I really liked this instructional. Instruction was straight forward and not complicated and as I age I need simple yet effective techniques that will allow me to continue to grapple.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great
Great, simple and systematic for slowing down faster (and younger) players for us older dudes.
Not just for Old Men! Beautiful and Efficient Jiu Jitsu
BJJ Old Man Style is a phenomenal instructional. Though marketed towards older Jiujiteiros it really is all about using efficient technique rather than just athleticism. As a relatively new new student, I have learned a significant amount from this instructional about utilizing proper timing and position to achieve my goals in BJJ. This instructional is also relatively short and easily digestible allowing multiple viewings to glean the important details. I highly recommend for all levels and ages who wish to improve their efficiency at this Art!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻BJJ Old Man Style By Rick Ellis
Mr. Ellis is a Black belt under Roy Dean and it shows with his crisp style of jiu-Jitsu. I was able to apply the closed guard passing and closed guard passing counters within a week.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very good
Well produced and very precise instructions. I especially liked some of the sweeps from closed guard.
Perfect Roy dean style
For the old guys
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Aweseome for anyone over the "hill"
Rick has a knack for explaining techniques and his online video content has always been insightful. Once again provides a valuable perspective on BJJ for those of us feeling the ravages of time. As someone in their mid 40s, his advice and teaching has given me a lot of good information to incorporate into my training. I highly recommend.
