Old Man Jiu Jitsu is an exploration, evolution, exposure and execution in the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as experience by a veteran of the art of Jiu Jitsu.

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.

“What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu today? The question, I hope, elicits the desired effect of leading the reader into reflection about jiu-jitsu and its definition.

What it was, is and what it is morphing into are the topics of a trilogy.” Following the success of Opening Closed Guard and The Rise and Evolution of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Robert Drysdale urges us to think the current state of affairs in ...
