As a man who is aged nearer 60 than 50 I often wonder who are the older members still pitting their wits against these young upstarts in their 20s 30s and 40s.
Who are the older guys (or girls) in your 10th Planet Schools?

I am one of the older guys at my school. I am 48 and have been training for about a year or so. I believe there is one other guy who is in his 50's that train but I am typically the oldest. I have to go against folks of all ages, some in their teens and some old guys like me.
I think we are few and far between. There is another guy in Darlington who hit 50 this year. I wonder if there are any 60+.
I am 57 and I am in the gym whenever the door is open.
Ralf Warneking is a black belt in the system. and probably in better shape than 90% of people fullstop. Correct me if I'm wrong but he is past 50. He competed against a guy 24 years younger than him recently, while injured and still did bloody well.
Age can be a factor but it doesn't have to be. just more reason to work harder.
I get in 3 to 4 times a week. I am still working but I try not to let it get in the way. I know of Ralf and yes I believe he is over 50.
Age shouldn't be a factor really. it's what you can do and adapting for the things you can't. I'm 57 this year and looking forward to a few more years on the mat.
Yes Bob I just spotted the script on your picture. I see you on your profile pic and I'm thinking I recognise the other guy. Demetrious Johnson. Nice shot.
I personally like rolling with the younger guys, they tend to be more dynamic and fun though they never really seem to get tired :(
Jayamilne they are ALL younger
So true, so true!
