Intro for 52 Year-old Newb

[fishNjits]

Ha. It's like the lucky fishing hat?

 

[maddog7]

Too funny. Crazy maybe, badass most definitely not.
I am pretty proud of the name though.

How do you pronounce it though?
Fishnets? I dunno dude...

 

[fishNjits]

It sounds like "fish 'n' chips" in my head.

 

[Old Man]

Nice job! I am 51 and just signed up 4 months ago as well. I'm training at the Marcelo Garcia Academy in NYC. I trained BJJ 16 years ago, but I'm definitely approaching it differently this time around. I'm more relaxed and not in a hurry to advance, I'm more concerned with longevity and trying to stay healthy.

I hope you have health insurance because you are going to need it.

I am in my mid 50s and have been training for 25 years-ish. WORST decision of my life. I can barely grip anything now.

What do you think has been most responsible for your ailments?

I figure when I'm 77 I probably won't be interested in gripping anything anyway.

But yeah, I have coverage.
