BJJ Ruined My Body
I finally earned my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt… but after 8 years of hard training, I’m asking a serious question: Was it worth it, or has BJJ wrecked my body? In this episode, I break down the real cost of chasing a purple belt in your 40s, the injuries, the recovery struggles, the balancing act with weight training, and why most guys underestimate what it takes to stay in the game long-term. If you’re a busy professional trying to stay fit, train BJJ, and not fall apart physically — this one’s for you. I also share: • What to expect when starting BJJ (and why it humbles everyone) • The truth about belt progression (white to black) • The injuries no one talks about • Why recovery (sleep, nutrition, mobility) is EVERYTHING • How I’m trying to fix my body (including my current peptide experiment) And the big question… am I actually going to quit? This video is for: • Men 30–50 trying to stay in shape • BJJ beginners and intermediate grapplers • Anyone balancing martial arts with lifting • Guys dealing with injuries, fatigue, and recovery issues
