I liked this. My goals have been fairly straightforward but they’ve gotten harder to pursue as I’ve gotten older. I’m also running into ‘real limits’ about what I can expect of myself in BJJ; getting older is hard, and some men are just better at it than others.

Truth hurts.

I can train as hard as I can and hit ‘my wall’, and there will be a few guys out there who are still going. I can live with that most of the time (but it isn’t easy). However, the goal is the same—be a Masters World Champ at every belt. If I’m pushing as hard as my body will allow, that’s my physical limit. (Pretty simple, really.). Then the trick is figuring out how to maximize that time on the mat so I actually IMPROVE. What do you think about that?
