The boys talk about if martial arts can slow the aging process. They discussed why some martial arts may be better suited to this, as well as if you’re in the right BJJ culture to foster the anti aging benefits Jiu Jitsu may offer.
We mostly agreed that while there are tons of benefits to BJJ, the anti aging one comes down to the kind of training and environment your particular gym has to offer.
If every roll is to the death (so to speak) and people have zero regard for your health, then no, it has the opposite of those benefits.
If it’s a cool gym then it’s probably one of the best mind and body sports to accomplish just those types of benefits.
We also answered a few BJJ everything questions. Namely the advice we would give to a brand new white belt.
