The Perpetual White Belt Podcast

IT'S OVER!!

Injuries hit different at 45. In this episode I talk about the ones I’ve already picked up (and the ones I’m trying to avoid) while training Judo and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu as a returning white belt. Real talk on recovery, ego, knowing when to push and when to shut it down, and how to keep training without wrecking a body that doesn’t bounce back like it used to.

In this episode I dig into the Gracie Diet — the nutrition system created by the Gracie family to fuel Jiu-Jitsu performance and long-term health. As a 45-year-old white belt restarting after 14 years away, I’m testing it for real: how it has helped me, how it feels on the mats, and how it helps an older body recover and train better.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Perpetual White Belt Podcast.

I’m 45 years old, a white belt in both Judo and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and I’m just getting started… again. Fourteen years ago I trained Jiu-Jitsu and had to walk away. Now I’m back on the mats, older, wiser, and somehow more determined.

In this intro episode I share a little about who I am, why I came back, what this show is really about, and why I’m inviting you to join me on the long, humbling road toward black belt in both arts. Just the real path of a perpetual beginner.
