Excellent practical instructional video! You can tell he put some thought into it.
Slick, achievable moves
Even though I feel like I have some athleticism available, I'm really enjoying learning ways to not rely on it. This includes some great ways to simply use mechanics and positioning to get where you want to be.

love your videos-I've incorporated some of these moves into my game!
Middle Aged Bjj 2: No Gi by Tom DeBlass
Thanks, Coach! You've literally saved me half of my energy. I'm not scrambling in the beginning anymore. I'm 2 on 1 all the way out of guard and using my energy for the finish!
Very useful
Very useful. This style is a great alternative for older or less athletic BJJ practitioners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗No Gi For older beginners
Tom is my favourite instructor. I'm a gi guy and struggle with no-gi...especially at my age. His insights are so straight up.
C.J.
Professor DeBlass provides a practical sound game with a few high quality effective techniques you can actually remember and use!
Fantastic
Great overview of moves / philosophy for older grapplers.
Middle Aged No-Gi
Necessity! Necessity! Necessity! If I knew this approach when I was younger, I wouldnt have issues recovering "from the issues" of not using it. Youung Heads watching, if you use this approach as a base philosophy and practice, you can be a chamelean with a long, and healthy career. You can be as athletic and ballistic when you need to, being most efficiant and economical as you need or can.

Great instruction clear and precise,well worth the money
Great follow up to Middle Aged BJJ
As with the first instruction Middle Aged BJJ this one follows up with straight forward, no-nonsense approach. Understanding that age takes its toll with a reduction in speed flexibilty and recovery this is a "must have" for any older grappler who wishes to remain active. The techniques have helped me on the mats with teammates that are stronger faster and younger than myself.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great teaching style
Not middle aged yet, but never too early to start practicing different approaches to promote longevity on the mats
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Tom DeBlass Breaks Things Down Like No Other
I knew Tom DeBlass was a top competitor who’s gone on to train many of today’s top competitors, and I’m kicking myself in the *** for waiting so long to grab one of his instructionals! Tom is an awesome teacher who breaks things down in an easy-to-understand, no-nonsense way! Since I grabbed Middle Aged BJJ 2, I’ve purchased his instructional on Guard Retention and Framing and it’s just as awesome—I intend to get more!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Nice instructional from Tom here.
Nice instructional from Tom here. Great principles and very clever techniques for middle age fighter who looks to still compete against young men
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Made for us
As an newly crowned old guy (I'm 40), I approve of this video. Definitely focused on old guys and not just general technique. Tom Deblass presents it well. I love deep half guard so I like seeing that in the video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Middle Aged BJJ : No Gi
Great techniques for not just older folks, but slower and less athletic in general.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fun, in depth, simplified
This made me a fan of DeBlass. He's got personality to go with his knowledge. He strikes a balance between being thorough and succinct. I found a lot of new nuggets in this that I honestly believe upped my game in less than a week.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great for people with pain.
I like Tom Deblass videos, he’s straight forward and I he keeps it simple. I see a lot of ego in other professors and he offers a unique perspective. I’m 45 so I love This video and specifically it shows how to slow down and put yourself in beneficial positions for people who have there body’s best interest in mind.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Plus Aged
I watched the video from beginning to end and then went back and outlined the principles of each technique in my notebook. I am now going back through and drilling one technique a week until I feel comfortable doing it repetitively with watching the video for instruction. I’m finding that is helping me understand the techniques better and these techniques WORK. I’m older than most of the people in my gym by 15 - 20 years. I’m slow and not as strong as I used to be. These techniques allow me to continue to roll effectively and efficiently.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Tom is a great teacher
Needed to keep up with the young fellas

I absolutely love this video. I have watched this one and others of Tom’s videos several times.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Old BJJ
It's not easy to deal with young explosive guys in training but this definitely helps. Really appreciate the guys in the video showing it
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Tom Deblass explain no things
Tom Deblass explain no things so simply and straight forward it’s easy to remember the principles he’s trying to convey with his instructions As a grappler and teacher he’s the total package
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Wrestled since I was 6,
Wrestled since I was 6, was a professional fighter for 14 years, at 52 years old I've put enormous wear and tear on my body. Went back to rolling after 5 and a 1/2 years of doing none. Even though I'm older than Tom I still learned some great lessons lessons rolling from middle age.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻I got this because at
I got this because at 49 I just can’t keep up with younger, faster fighters. I was able to take these techniques and start applying them the very next class with great success.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great instructions
Great video awesome instructions
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Being middle aged and starting
Being middle aged and starting bjj can be daunting but it can also be incredibly rewarding when you have people like Tom Deblass guiding you through it. My advice is find your people to train with, you know who they are and then get this dvd and watch your fame improve instantly. Mine did and thanks to Tom, the guys also in it, bjj fanatics and my training partners for making me a better person both on and off the mat 🙌�
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Control that enables you to work your game.
Good basic principles and tips that ensure you can slow down younger, faster and sometimes stronger opponents. These basics will help you with "why things happen, how to prevent some things and how to recover."
