Now the #1 advice...leaving your EGO out of it. Yes you can't move like you could when you were 20. Ask yourself why do you do Bjj/10thjj. Is it to be a World Champion or is out of love of the sport. I've always heard technique wins over strength. As far as competing enter director / masters division's. People look at the destination (black belt) and its not about that, its about the journey...keep moving forward!
