- My Daughter & I started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Many believe that, at 40, I'm too Old. Do you agree with them or do you still have some gas in the tank to try it out? Let me know in the comments.

Not only are you NOT too old, it’s probably one of the best things you could start doing at this age. I started at when I was 36. I’m 39 now. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’ll influence everything you do outside of training, for the better. You won’t regret it.
Mate what’s going on with the hair ?
Im 42 and my body is hurting just imagining haha. We're on this planet for a extremely short time so do what makes you happy!
Justin if nothing works out I’d like to see you be an astronaut, because I believe you can be anything, good luck bro 👏😅
Is this what the garage has come too? Wow. Miss the old days. All the bikes are gone. The tools and everything.
Unfortunately.. time heals all wounds especially when we’re worse off than we were. I’ll keep fighting and hopefully I’ll get back to where I was. Same for anyone going through hardship. Easy come easy go… put the time and work in and everything can be what it once was or better 😊
@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway Keep doing what makes you happy. I am inspired by your honesty and truthfulness. I believe it takes a lot to be this honest. I know your finding your way day to day. Keep the faith and work it day to day.
Appreciate your time answering my comment. Been watching you for a while now and I always respect your admiration and wisdom. You got a great father also! And you are an awesome dad too!
Old follower! I haven't watched ur videos in a few years . I was one of your first! It's awesome that you are doing martial arts! I been training bjj for a little over a year 4 stripe white belt at 37 years old . Ima catch up on ur videos!
Don't never give up keep pushing through. God has a plan for you sir thank you for your service 🙏
I’m here for whatever the content might be. Good to see you back.
Is never too late if you want to be prepared and healthy
This is awesome brother, and to share this with your daughter is priceless. Good luck!!
Look, you have an audience of 41k because theyre here for your mechanic experience and tool videos. Thats a valuable thing. You're alienating every one who supported you.
If you're going off and bonding with your kid its one thing. But trying to say you can make this jujitsu stuff into more than a hobby is just insane. Its not worth the injuries. You're responsible for yourself and other people. Running up medical bills and not being able to work due to injury is foolish. I get it, were all getting older and we can all benefit from more activity. But be sensible.
You're sitting in a cluttered room with ants crawling on you saying you sold your tools to survive. Come on man. We all have bad periods in life. Dont make it worse.
Are you ok?
I know this instructor that is like 65 and he is still grappling
What ever makes you happy. That's all that matters 👍
Good to see you looking well my dude 🤙🏼🏝🍻
Not too old. I follow you close and somehow missed your law enforcement video and just saw it. You’re a veteran so le is a perfect fit. A lot of guys get in late in life career change I was lucky. I started out at 21 and retired 2 years ago. Decided sitting home was not for me so I started back as a deputy. Long as your record is clear. Your golden. Believe me. They are starving for quality applicants. The JJ craft will help big time when you’re out there being a cop and getting it done. I’m sure you have aged out but CHP would be awesome. I use to watch CHIPS and 😴 dream
I'm a 50 year old Brown Belt (one stripe). With your former experience you surely can do it. However, I would first ask you to slow down in trying to be dominant in your rolls (80% is a lot) and wait until your body hardens a bit to the art/sport. - You already have a head start with the wrestling. Most BJJ guys will never, ever be ready for a wrestler. Use that to your advantage and master takedowns again (especially foot sweeps). Takedowns will be your ticket to controlling rolls as it puts you in position to control the "fight." Next master pins (side control, mount, back control, north south, etc.). That will allow you to slow rolls down to your speed and then people will give you submissions to get out of them. Always work on escapes. If you can't be tapped, you will not have to ever worry about escaping bad positions with most people. As you look to be about 6 ft + and around 200 lbs, you will be able to control most rolls if you work on the above attributes. - Additionally, I would say, buy a grappling dummy A TeJay or Grappling Smarty. That will allow you to practice so many basics that you will not be able to do in the gym or even a rolling partner outside of the gym. You can advance quickly doing that. - But the main thing is to not worry about winning rolls right now, showing what you know. It will lead to a lot of quick or permanent injuries. Slow down and learn what you need to know and what to be careful of. It is okay to say, "Hey, I'm new, I don't know what I'm doing, can we roll slow." Especially with wild guys. You are fresh meat to a lot of these guys (white and blue belts) and they will go extra hard to prove a point. Don't buy into it.
Thanks for your reply and sharing your experience 🙏🙂🥋
joe rogan on one of his latest podcast said 40s and 50s are the best years to start jiu jitsu .
Justin, I do like these update videos, and hope you always do then.
Also good luck on all your goals...
Dont think being over 40 is too old...just need to deal with it and work through with it. Apply the effort for what you want from it 👍🏼👍🏼
Is the next update also going to be about being your own barber? Was the haircut for Coachella and or jiu jitsu?
Good to see the updates thank you.
I think this is awesome. Enjoy your life. Find ways to combine your life experiences to make a unique talent.
Justin Dow.. Nice to see ya but come on bro, you have to fill us in about the hair thing.. Also I think 40 is too old to start to learn any Martial Arts if you are in it to master it. You have to be very serious about it because it takes a long time and a lot of training to master any Martial Art. If you just want to learn a little bit and use it to stay in shape then go for it.
That’s a sick GI don’t mind the haters bro
Hey, first of all, nice to see you back. I know you've still been posting off and on, but really hasn't come up much for me. Second, absolutely not too old!
I started training Jujitsu at the age of 50. I'm now 52 and a blue belt. Now I will tell you though I've trained lots of martial arts previously. Including getting a brown belt in Judo. So I did have a little bit of a Headstart.
Nevertheless, I was still 50 and I hadn't trained for about five or six years before that. So absolutely it can be done!
Next weeks update sat in spacesuit working for nasa
🤣🤣🤣
Never too old.
Hey bud how u doing and no u are not to old get in there
Hair?
It’s definitely throwing me off.
Trying to figure out what is going on with his hair. He definitely needs to go 100% buzz cut going into law enforcement interviews
@@hp7093reminds me of Damon Wayons on In Living Color. The skit with Men on film when he wears that little hat sideways. Lol
@@mikenonameneeded3485 EXACTLY! This is one of the many points in the comment section saying something is not right with him.Whether is a midlife crisis or a medical condition I hope he gets the help that he needs. He is not thinking correctly. Maybe get checked for diabetes, because his critical thinking and confusion is off. He is not himself right now.
No but it may be too old for that haircut
40s, yeah you can do it!!! Me, 60, and my Semi has already beat the crap out of me the last 20 years, No!! I'm ready to
take it easy with a bruski and
fishing pole in my hands!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
When this doesn’t work out, there always is professional wrestling. Get on the independent circuit and before you know it, you’ll be back to wrenching…
Be careful with JJ and injuries. You are safe with a skilled instructor. Roll with a hot shot and you can get seriously injured. Go o back through joe Rohan’s pod cast. He is a master and big promoter of JJ
The difference is these older guys who do it usually never stopped doing it.
Hes pretty much starting fresh if its a 20 year gap.
Hard to believe he thinks law enforcement is going to approve of a video history of falling down in life. If your serious about law enforcement. I’d erase it all
Life happens to everyone, it's how you bounce back and react that matters, I think he's doing a great job !
Yep these vids will all be part of the background check. We all fall down but most of us don’t document it.
What's up bud
