It is an effort and guide to assist the BJJ practitioner in developing a mindset and understanding of the aging grappler, as well as a manner in which to find comfort in the sometimes uncomfortable world of BJJ, improve one's practice and perhaps achieve the distinguishing title of Old Man Jiu Jitsu.
