How old are you/how long have you been training?

[July08]

35, been training 1 1/2 yrs, blue belt. I have noticed that over the past 8 months or so, my recovery/explosiveness/etc. has been noticeably worse compared to the first 10 months. I attribute it to getting old. Used to go to class every day, now I have to take a day off after a tough class to recover. Sucks.

You really know how to bless a 44 year old!
I have to take 2 days off after easy training :icon_lol:

Keep training brother!!

[dza76wutang]

26, 4 years (raw total) 3.5 if you subtract major lay offs. Blue belt June 2008, lost 6 months to a nasty back injury, so technically 1.5 yrs as a practicing blue belt, so I'm basically a probationary purple belt. :icon_twis LOL...seriously though 3.5 years sans lay offs, got blue at 2 years in.

22, I've been training for 8 years and was a 4 stripe white belt at 17. I then took 2 years off and train for 9 months of no gi. Then I took another 1 1/2 years off and start training as a fresh white belt at Gracie Barra. 5-6 months later, I'm a 4 stripe white belt.

Dont take huge chunks of time off. its not cool

Im 25 and have been off and on grappling for about 2 and a half years. Ive been consistantly training for 9 almolst 10 months now in no gi and i have won and placed in 2 different competitions. Recently my school added a gi program under a black belt and it literaly started this past tues 7/20 and only teaches gi and no gi classes back to back on tues and weds. So im littrally a 2 day old white belt lol but cant wait to learn more in the gi.
