Middle aged bll by Tom DeBlas
Wanna turn down your opponents speed and start dominating instead, have a look at this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻slow the game down
Great old guy strategies to slow the game down and dominate positions
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome product for older practitioners
Just returned to training and my training partners are typically 10-20 years younger also much fitter and faster. Lots of details to help the older grappler including warmups. Highly recommended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻awesome for older grapplers
Having recently returned to training I was nervous. Most of my partners are anywhere from 10-20 years younger and much fitter. Appreciated the tips and warm ups.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great resource!
Great resource, breaking BJJ to understandable and useful skills that I can use! I am not getting any younger but I M definitely getting a lot better with these instructionals!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great content, very well explained
Great content, very well explained by Tom DeBlass. As usual, fonctionnal, simple and direct. The principles are easy to understand and apply. It helps a lot to have a better mindset, a very good gameplan and mostly enjoy bjj in a safe and secure way for years and years to come. Thank you Tom DeBlass !
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Effective and helpful instructions!
Effective and helpful instructions Tom Deblass' instructions are always insightful and amazing! I cannot wait his next instruction!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for the young at heart with old backs.
At 56 this video is a great find. Do the flashy stuff as long can but keep the old man methods as your base. This is what a lot of should have learned back in the late 80's/early 90s while "ground fighting". All simple but effective.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for any age but especially over 40
Highly recommended to any middle age person in their bjj journey. I’ve been training for over seven years, but just purchased this and it is a game changer
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great advice and techniques
Tom is a great communicator. This video covers a lot of great topics. I'm a 54 white belt and the oldest in my gym. I train with a great group but no one has helped me as much with old man BJJ as Tom!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Middle aged bjj
Key points about fundamentals and taking away the opponents control were stellar
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Middle Aged BJJ - Rolling for Old Guys & Gals
As a slightly older than middle aged guy, this is a great video. It really drives the point of understanding that we're no longer spring chickens, so we need to adjust our game accordingly, and pay attention to our bodies. Highly recommend!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great video series
Exatly what I need, specifically the recovery
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Pre-Middle Age approved
I’m looking straight at 40 soon and this instructional has really opened a lot of new strategies to deal with the young guns. Cardio isn’t what it used to be, kids, work, and training when I can - this has helped with keeping me in rounds and not gassing out after 2 rolls. Really enjoyed the live rolling commentary - helps break up just following move by move.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Middle-aged doesn't mean retired (lol)
Found this after finally realizing that, as a 52-year old newer player, I need a game-plan that reflects my physical reality. Tom breaks things down in terms of survival periods between offense that make sense and that utilize the older grappler's advantages in areas like static strength. It's probably the first video I've watched from start to finish, without skipping some sections because I couldn't follow or didn't feel confident I could put into practice. Excellent material for the older guys like me!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Best video for old guys
secrets for slowing them down!!!!!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The material Tom covers is
The material Tom covers is just what the doctor ordered to help and keep older practitioners in the game longer. The content in this video will definitely help you to be more efficient with your Jiu Jitsu. Tom’s stretching and warm up advice has already helped me prepare my body for the mats.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Not just middle aged...older guys too
Im 53. Been at a Gracie Barra for 9 mos now working my tail off 3-4x per week. Most of the time Its with guys in their 20's and 30's of any colour or with blue/purple belts. I've made some good progress...but every time I feel like quitting because my strength isn't what it was or my recovery time is slow...I watch this video and Tom inspires me to keep at it. He makes you realize that you can still benefit incredibly by staying at it. Key thing...learning how to slow down the young bucks. Of all my videos, and I have many, this is my favourite.
Response from BJJ FanaticsKeep working hard! Everyone is capable of improving!Awesome instructional! Started implemented the
Awesome instructional! Started implemented the physical and mental aspects learned in this video. Thank you Mr. Deblass for all you jiujitsu knowledge! :call_me_hand::call_me_hand:
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Longevity in training
A great video for older grapplers!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Mindset and strategies.
Good video that should help to continue the training and avoiding injuries.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Survive longer and give younger practitioners ****
Tom Deblass really goes into amazing detail on how to perform as an older BJJ practitioner. This series has really kicked up my game and I am surviving longer against higher belts.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Instructional
Great Instructional!! I started Bjj at 49 and this video from Tom DeBlass has been great going into training Jiu Jitsu. Tom has done a great job with his advice/recommendations for training, recovery tips, and techniques. Highly recommended to any middle age person in their bjj journey.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Adaptable
Very detailed, but simple, and easy to adapt
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Stack the deck in your favour.
Great stuff not just for older practitioners but for everyone. Shows you how to slow the game down and take away some of the variables of grappling which is jiu jitsu in a nutshell.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Vital for those who are young at heart
Tom Deblass shares his warm up and recovery ideas which are well worth the price of this instructional video. The content on strategy to even the odds with the young and vigorous should not be overlooked as well
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Love this one
I absolutely love this video. I have watched this one and others of Tom’s videos several times.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻5 Stars
Content was excellent. Instructions what do to do to protect yourself from injury. Techniques were great and Tom used a brown belt that was younger and a blue belt that was a middle aged man.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good tips and techniques
Good tips on how to slow down younger partners and to protect oneself from injuries. He also helped to set the right expectations for training when it comes to the older guys.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻5 Stars
Excellent as always from Tom. Really useful techniques and instruction and I’ve been able to apply these principles immediately.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for the older practitioner
As an older player who is constantly up against the younger, faster opponents, Tom does a fantastic job breaking down positions to make your opponent work hard. Great breakdowns and explanations in different positions you will end up in. The warm up and recovery was also worth the price alone. Really enjoyed this one and can’t wait to try some of these moves in the gym!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very helpful for us "old" men.
Started BJJ 7 months ago at age 53. Tom's video instruction is excellent, especially for an older practitioner and one trying to work around chronic injuries. Not only are the techniques simple and effective Tom provides great tips on warm up and recovery. Well worth the money.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Really important tips geared for
Really important tips geared for a segment of students who have to train differently
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great, I love it:muscle::martial_arts_uniform:🙏�
Great, I love it:muscle::martial_arts_uniform:🙏�
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great Video
As a 39yr old blue belt that's been training over eight years, I'm noticing that I have to change my game. Increasingly I have to adjust to keep pace with 20 somethings. I had my meniscus repaired, so I'm not eager to risk blowing out my knee again. This video is tremendously helpful for middle aged players who need a strategy to keep up and stay injury free.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Longevity in Bjj
If you want longevity in grappling this instructional is a must. Tom gives solid advice and techniques to stay consistent and competitive in this video series. I have found all of his instructionals great and this one is just as good as his others.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Really liked it and will
Really liked it and will continue to watch/implement these techniques.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Old gits
If you're older and slower this is full of good advice to slow down those speedy young chaps (and ladies) Tom always delivers easy to follow techniques.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤙🏻Excellent video. As a beginning
Excellent video. As a beginning middle ager, the video provide great training on technique and I really enjoyed the advice on recovery.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great warm up and techniques
Great warm up and techniques that don't require speed and atleticism.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Instructional
After 4 months of lockdown due to covid I was looking forwards to the opening of the academy this week. I spent the last 4 months reviewing instructionals so I could come back with a bit more knowledge and have some survival concepts, as I was a bit tired of being smashed in every session. After viewing Tom's instructional I went to the gym 4 times this week and applied several of the techniques. They work, as simple as that. I was able to maintain my close guard both bottom and top and not feel exhausted in the process. A blue training partner asked me if I had been doing weights over the last 4 months, he said that I was much stronger than before... I guess technique make you stronger... I am just at the beginning of the BJJ journey but like most things in life with training and knowledge you get better. Thanks Tom (I have bought 3 more of your instructionals and looking forwards to the next several months to try new things)
Response from BJJ FanaticsNice! 🔥Tom is an amazing instructor,
Tom is an amazing instructor, and for an older BJJ practitioner his advice is very timely. Can't say enough good things about it...
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent insight
I was quite sceptical at first give Tom’s laid back and chatty style, but having used the techniques on my much faster and stronger son, I have found them to be really effective, so yes I would recommend
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great video

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Video!
Great instructional video, detailed and easy to follow steps that anyone can benefit from.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fantastic for the older BJJ players
Fantastic instructional, great content with detailed examples and recommendations for the older grapplers. I’m 36, with a fused lumbar spine, this instructional speakers to me, not only is it inspiring, it’s extremely helpful. Professor Tom, gives you his insight and routines to not only keep you on the mats, but also to be more successful. The stretch routines, plus exercises are extremely important for the older guys like me, but it’s the instructions on how to slow the rolls down, while still being competitive that’s truly gold. Thanks so much Professor Tom for yet another amazing instructional, and for supporting us old guys!
