You're not old by the way. I'm 45 with a back injury and recovered from a bad fall that has gave me arthritis since 2017 and I'm still running circles around these young teen, 20s, and early 30s guys.
I've always wanted to do BJJ but I have this nail fungus on my right foot that keeps coming back so yeah, I just stick to reality fighting and boxing. Sucks.
@@gbody2617 All the best to you! 🙏
@@gbody2617 I understand having a bad back. As for nail fungus its quite common. You can wear wrestling boots. Try trim the nails down . Wear socks . I have suffered with nail fungus for years. Don't let it stop you from getting on the mat !!
@@rikkisuave6520 - Thanks, I remember seeing these foot coverings that were for rolling but that was years ago and I'm not sure it caught on but I'll take your advice.
Good days to you!
Just the fact this older guy is still rolling at 59, is amazing!
Thank you, Gabriel! 🙏
Well, I am 57 year-old Korean guy, and I want to roll in my 59. You are my role model, Gabriel.
He’s 59 not 89
@@mariowajrak3868 my thoughs, 59 is fine, you dont roll like in your 20s, but still...
That's awesome, Gabriel!
This is great!! I’m a 53 year old 2 stripe blue belt and I started training 3 years ago. I train 3 or 4 times a week and I roll hard probably twice a week. I’m just happy to be on the mats with all of the injuries that I have had over the years prior to Jiu Jitsu! Glad I found your channel sir! You are an inspiration!!
William, that is so great to hear. Best of luck with your training! 🙏
Got an unco just about 50 still rolling. He looks like a lil ripped samoan joe rogan lol
It is a grace for me to see this video and to read all these comments. I am 49 years old, I started a month before the 1st lockdown of covid 19, that is to say around mid-January 2020. I did my first competition in May 2022 and will do a new one in November . I have the blue belt now. I love this sport which gave me a second breath of life and teaches me so much about myself. I hope one day to reach the level of this 59-year-old gentleman. I also train 3 to 4 times a week. Big Oss to the whole BJJ community!!!!
You are all a big inspiration 🙏
Same here 49 year old blue belt and started 3 years ago. One of the best decisions of my life. Juijitsu has helped me get more in touch with my body and mind. Keep training, I am glad I am not alone.
Both guys are class acts!! Great roll!! Still rolling at 59 with great skill is very inspiring.
Thank you, Paisano! I'm glad you liked it! 🙏
Why wouldn’t he have skills? He’s a black belt lol
@@vyronphillips4568 Quit tryin to twist the words around, bud.
I love seeing how no-gi is growing in popularity. The GI absolutely has its place and adds a whole different aspect, but as a wrestler, coach, mma fan, and law enforcement I find that no-gi to be much more applicable to a much broader audience. At 43, this guy rolling a 59 is an absolute machine. He’s living proof that if you use it, it’s much easier to keep it. To the young guys out there, don’t let yourself grow sedentary. It’s much easier to keep it than get it back. Follow this gentleman’s lead.
Thank you for the kind words, Mr. November! All the best to you! 🙏
People would be smart to embrace no gi and the gi. Especially if they are learning the art for self defense.
I personally disliked the Gi, but much of it can be carried over for self defense. People are missing out on a lot if they don't do Gi classes.
Nogi has always been big lol
Hey, I'm 40 and despite loving the look of the art for years I only started training 5 months ago - great to see a 59 year old with injuries still rolling and doing so well against a beast like this lad - great video and you've a new fan for showing me there's hope for the older guys like us
That's awesome! Thanks for the kind words, greyfrog! 🙏 All the best with your training! 💪💯
46 and started a year ago. No injuries so far . More power to u greyfrog.
Hey brother whats the update? You still training?
Professor John I can definitely relate! I'm 55 yrs old with injuries to literally every joint in my body from a lot of ego training back in the mid 90's with other ego maniac police officers. I'm a purple now that hasn't trained in quite some time but watching this definitely gives me inspiration! Great job to you and your new student! 🙏 👊
Thanks, Rob! I hear you about back in the day. I'm training to train smart. Hope you get back on the mat! 🙏💯
@@HamhocksUnlimited Yes, Brandon. I do the ATG Program from the Knees Over Toes Guy: th-cam.com/users/TheKneesovertoesguy
Great stuff. Keeps me strong and mobile and injury free.
@@HamhocksUnlimited just do not roll with ego's find some good partners and stick with them.. tap a lot! Don't over train.

Currently going through one of those crappy moments across the journey where you are getting tapped by everyone and just feel worthless, thinking about quitting. This was inspiring, so thank you!
Those times happen. Im right there with you. We can use the hammer/nail or bug/windshield analogy that I'm sure you've heard a million times. Just keep at it my friend, and I'll see you on the other side. 🤙
good luck going through your tuesday ;)
That happens to everyone.
So happy you found inspiration in this video. 🙏 I just try to get a little bit better every time. All my best to you. 💪💯
Getting tapped is part of the experience, keep training and wait till you roll with someone who is new, you'll tap them.
Good on you professor! I am a 69 year old blue-belt, under professor Mario Sergio Yokoyama in Sydney, Australia, I am going to work through this video with my professor movement by movement, You are AMAZING! You give all us old blokes renewed joy and inspiration in the Art. It is true,if you understand the principles of BJJ, then strength real does not matter so much.🙏
That's awesome. I just try to get a little bit better every day. All my best. 🙏
Depends on the amount of strength
@@jamesl3567 hi James, I will do so, take care, James,
@@JohnConnorsMMA I will try to do the same; you have given me a renewed joy in BJJ; if i ever want to fight in a tournament,(in Australia), then i will have to face opponents younger than me. This really worried me, but after seeing you grappling with a giant, who is a least 10 years younger than you, I am not so worried, I will just try to get a little better each day too. Thank you professor,🙏
@@perryhart3172 it does it is true, but I have grappled with a giant of a man too, and he just lifted up out of mount, like I was a feather. I gave him the opportunity to do so, because i did not use my weight and leverage effectively. Every detail matters. The professor, in the video, is a master of BJJ and that is why he was not picked up and thrown to the mat.
This Marine only wishes he can do what that older wrestler can do when he is 59!! I respect both men. Never assume anything in life. Thank you for serving our country.
Thank you, Robert!

Sir, you're my inspiration to continue my journey in BJJ. I'm a 40 years old guy, next year I will be 41. Last time I almost quit BJJ for good and lack all motivations to continue training and start questioning something like " you're getting old Shahril, just forget it. Your younger self has gone. You're not going to be fast, agile, like when you're in your 20's. I cried down in tears thinking I will never go back to the past and regretting all the time of why I didn't start the BJJ training earlier when I was early 30 years old. Now after seeing your video I believe there's hope for me to achieve something even in my 40's. I may not be as fast as those 20 years old guys in my gym. But at least I'm doing my best to train, improving myself and today for the first time, I found your video and it did motivates me to not give up and continue. Thank you for the video. Greetings from Malaysia. Sorry about my English because English is not my mother's tongue. 😊
Dread, I am so happy you found inspiration from the video! I just try to get a little bit better every day. All the best with your training! Your English is excellent. Thank you for watching and commenting! 🙏
Even tho youre old, you can get muuch faster. Practice hill sprints once a week: train for power, go until u cant maintain top speed, slow down, walk back, catch your breath and do it again. You will build fast twitch muscle like a teenager
If your jiujitsu is half as good as your English, I’ll gladly attend your seminars. I’ve attended seminars in other languages too for BJJ (with a translator) certainly glad to have been there.
Be happy if you can get the best out of yourself. The Great Don Werner once said do better than your best.
This is a huge testament to John but also to jiu jitsu, to survive alone against a man like Joe is incredible, but to control him on the ground is another thing.
Thank you, KH ! 🙏
For sure
If you've ever rolled with a black belt, you know no matter how slow they're going, or how much advantage you think you have, they can flip any time they want. Literally any time.
🙏
Omg! I’m 59 and just starting BJJ. I’m a lifetime martial artist and thought I was too old to be on the game. You have restored my MoJoe!!!
That's awesome! All the best to you! 🙏
I’m 50 and have been training for almost 2 years. Recently got re-injured, which is depressing to me. Hearing your story and reading some of the other comments gave me some inspiration. Thank u 🙏.
That's awesome, John! So glad you found inspiration!

That's a funny way to say "I couldn't escape his side control." 😆
😅👍
Very impressive sir, but I’m also impressed with the giant marine wrestler. He has solid technique and great control!
You're right, Mark. And Big Joe is a great guy. 👍
"He's just waiting to die in side control."
Lol. Epic.
😅👍 Big Joe is hilarious! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
Differences in generations and upbringing... There's a lot more of us out here still rolling in our late 50's than you think, can't emphasize cardio enough!
Standing knee strikes and Bear crawls up and down steps for 15 minutes couple times a week, old school cardio still works.
You are right, T! 🙏
I've jump roped for 1 or 2 hours every weekend for 3 years, as well as shadowboxed as well as bosu ball work. Just started BJJ and it's a different kinda "cardio." I was the sweatiest in the gym after an hour. I'm worried about injuries and I have had no serious ones all my life in my mid-40s. I get mistaken for early 30s all the time. I just eat/exercise well and don't have a sedentary job. I have an optimal vitamin regimen plus make green smoothies every week (celery the heart of it).
New strategy against Joe…. Get BS sweep, sit in side control on Hospice 😂😂. Great match, great video!
Big Joe definitely won the trash talk game. 😅
It’s amazing the amount of effort and resilience these two have. So much effort in the little things it’s hard to keep up.
Thank you for the kind words! And thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
This video motivated me to get started with BJJ a year ago... didn't understand what was going on but just the fact that the old man could get this dude out of breath was absolutely shocking to me. Fast forward, here I am rewatching and understanding the exchanges happening, and the beautiful slow and systematic progress from one pin to the other, hand positions, microadjustments involved make this such a pleasant video to revisit. Thank you John, keep kicking ass !!🤩
Thank you so much for your kind words!
This gives me great encouragement to keep making videos.
All the best with your journey! 🙏
Thank YOU sir, please keep 'em coming ! really enjoy your content@@JohnConnorsMMA
"I'm missing most of my ligaments on my left" that's gotta be quite the story and the fact that you still roll is amazing.
Thank you, Ronald! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
White belt here. Hurt my knee two weeks ago. Thank you very much for the motivation to still be rolling for the next 20-30 years 😂
I'm glad you liked the video, Benjamin! Enjoy the journey! 🙏
I was expecting a giant blast double to open, but apparently, Marine Bane left his "WHAT MAKES THE GRASS GROW? BLOOD, BLOOD BLOOD!!!" energy home today.
😅👍 Thanks for watching and commenting, Darrell! 🙏
Truly inspiring! I’m in my mid 30s, recovering from a knee surgery, contemplating in hanging up the belt. Yet watching your videos has convinced me that I should continue on…oss
So happy to hear that! All the best with your skill development. 🙏
To be real, I needed this. When I was in my 20s I was in great shape and trained in BJJ. I’m now 43 and fat and so out of shape. I allowed myself to get to busy to take care of myself. I’ve been planning on starting back on a journey.
Go for it, Chris! All the best on your journey! I have great moments in my life and some not so great moments. But the great moments only came when I took a chance and tried something.
All the best! 💪💯
That side control pressure from John looked super intense. Great round fellas!
Thank you, Elliott! 🙏
as a 48 yo 165lb purple belt you give me hope and inspiration
Glad to hear that! Best of luck with your training!🙏
I'm knocking on the door of 50 years old. You inspire me John. Thank you.
Wow! So happy to hear that, Bryce! All the best with your skill development! 🙏
1. Position
2. Control
3. Submission
Didn't get the third but he was showing experience and good patients. Good job old man!
Thank you, Michael! 🙏
'Old Man' has got arms and his body languge is clear: don't you ever underestimate me; I'm old for a reason. Great roll!
Thank you, Aradi! 🙏
Yeah I noticed the popeye arms, no way he feels like a normal 175 pounder haha.
An amazing use of leverage, body weigh and strategy to survive against a younger, stronger opponent, who is certainly no push over. I would not like to face him, but Professor John you did! well done! will be back to watch again and again🙏
Thank you so much! 🙏
As a 43 year old black belt who's withered away to 165 lbs, this gives me inspiration. Respect for rolling no-gi; I know I like using the gi to slow the match down when rolling with bigger, stronger guys.
I hear you, Anthony! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
I would love to know more about avoiding injury and playing the long game.
I will put something together.
@@JohnConnorsMMA thank you John.
As a man that has grappled with Joe, it is no easy task... The kid is a menace on the mats, but a great guy in general.
You're right, Jeremiah! Joe is the best 👍
Way to go Old Guy! I'm a 60 year old BJJ Black Belt.
Thank you, Neil! 🙏 cheers to you!
Love the trolling at the end...

Thank you. Jeff!! 🙏
Show ! Experiência e paciência. Bakana demais. O Jiu-jitsu é muito poderoso. Show Mestrao não deixe esses meninos respirarem. Kkkkk Oss ! Brazil
Thank you. Leonardo! 🙏
I started at a new gym pushing 53. On average I am 30 years older than my gym mates but focus a lot of defense. It was survival of the fittest for awhile, I got submitted 10 times a class, defense was survival. Plus I went into it with some "life trophies" (injuries). Professor Connors is correct, defense takes more energy compared to attacking and he did some serious defense in my opinion! Looking forward to learning more from this Professor Connors.
Thank you, Jason! 🙏
I'm a 48yr old 2.5yrs as purple my body breaking down and so that's my exact game plan. He knows he could've set up for north south choke from side control then go north south and get the choke took him out but seems he just wanted to prove his jiujitsu can hold him down! On hospice haha 😄 magnificent old man's jiujitsu!
Thank you! All the best with your training! 🙏
That was refreshing. 59yrs old vs 26yrs old. Completely different bodys. 175lbs vs a 250 pounder. A Marine at that. My son has been in the Corp for just a little over a year. He is almost 6'3" and 170lbs of lean muscle. 6% body fat. I was teaching him martial arts before he just up and left a stable family.
"...he just up and left a stable family."
Sometimes a young guy just needs some adventure, and gets paid to have one by enlisting. Do you feel slighted or inconvenienced?
Thank you, Tango! All the best to you and your family! 🙏
@@Spiritof_76 he's my son. He loves computers. Actually he's a genius with them. He was enrolling at University of North Alabama. Then one day out of the blue he's joined the Marines. He and I were close. Very close. I supported him all the way even though the administration we have is vomit level. He's stationed at Camp Pendelton California. 1900 miles from home. It may have been easy for you but it hasn't been for me.
@@JohnConnorsMMA thanks brother. I have a BB in Hapkido (took 5yrs), Green in TKD,Green in Kempo, had some Judo and BJJ training and trained Japanese sword for a solid year. Well rounded but due to back issues I've had to slow things down a bit. My Sifu taught me technique beats power 85% of the time if your dealing with joints, locks, holds ect. I have power but more interested in the technique. Take care
@@tangomantactical Not sure what administration has to do with it (?) I enlisted to get out of the rut that I felt like I was in. I've known many families that were surprised when their kids enlisted, including college and future college students. Odds are he will do one enlistment and maybe get back into college when he finishes. Sometimes a guy wants a challenge and structure, and the Corps will definitely provide that. I hope they give/gave him a job and location that he benefits from. Don't take it personally. You'll always be just as important to him as before he enlisted. It's hard to watch your boy become independent and become a man. They don't stay kids long enough, right?
I like seeing TRUE genuine Bjj being used……..Just flowing like water not a bunch of that head checking n smacking around going on…….Just a friendly game of Chess! Well done to both of you!
I’m a 43 yr old yt belt 1.5 months in OSS!!
Thank you, Dre! OSS,! 🙏
Oh man that ending is hilarious.
😅👍
I'm 56. That big guy would have shattered me like I was made out of Legos. Lol!
He's a beast, Jimmy! I'm glad you liked the video!
Love to see older participants training competitively. Awesome side control!
Side note: I wish there were more opportunities for Adults to train freestyle/folkstye/Greco wrestling
Thank you! 🙏
Great video, straight to the point with great camera work and fun editing. Nice job!
Thank you, Andrew! I'm glad you liked it! 👍
I'm 73 and just started BJJ 6 weeks ago, already attended 32 classes. Lots of injuries from previous endeavors, my back, hips and shoulder are shot. I intend to continue.
That's awesome! 🙏 All the best with your skill development! 🙏
That’s tough
That "I'm not giant, except my head" comment got me.
Thanks, Black! 😅👍
Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
The beauty of Jiu jitsu
Thank you, Yodman! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
That was awesome. I saw the title about how he was a wrestler, but after watching could tell he knew bjj too, then they said he was a blue belt. He's going to be a monster but John's still got the throne for now.
Thank you, Caleb. Big Joe is a beast. He will be passing me soon. As a coach that means I'm doing my job. Cheers! 🙏
Throne? You actually think the big guy was really trying? He could of crushed that guy and smothered him the whole round
@@vyronphillips4568 He was absolutely trying. You can see him using full strength to attempt to escape from bottom and was unable.
Look if it's short wrestling only rounds, or adding in strikes, then yeah big young guy takes it. But for a grappling match this was definitely legit with both guys going for it.
Is it wrong that I found extreme pleasure in seeing the expressions on "Big Joe's" face as he was trying to escape the side control pressure? It really gives an older grappler who started his BJJ journey after 53 years old hope!
Don, thanks for watching and commenting! Best of luck with your training!🙏
I really appreciate the experienced BBJ guy still at it (I’m a 58 yo freestyle/Greco wrestler) the fact is Big Joe looked out of his element. Wrestlers don’t like being on their backs.
BJJ didn’t allow for Big Joe to utilize any of the power and athleticism that was showcased at the beginning. At first contact the “Old Man” drop to guard.
👍🏿 to both athletes but you now need to have a rematch in wrestling or flip it to have an “Old Man” wrestling a younger BJJ practitioner.
And before anyone say anything, yes I am game to volunteer as the experienced wrestler.
That's awesome, Darryl! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏

Thank you for saving us against the Machines.
😅👍
53 Here and 4th Dan 🥋 and You are an Inspiration 🙏🏽
Thank you for the kind words, Steve! 🙏
I think I just learned everything I need to know in one extremely entertaining video.
I’m exaggerating. But I feel like I got more practical/applicable info out of this than an instructional.
Wow. Thank you for the kind words, Mason. 🙏
You can be pride of yourself and we all dream to be like you at your age . You have a lot of courage to put so much pression at your age and risking injury rolling hard with such a strong guys ( while the wresler was a good one and not spazzy)
For myself I am too scared and while I love bjj , I only love it as long it s good thing for my health , this is why I only train 1 or 2 times a week for 10 years now with out any injuried I am still young but around me everyone have back/knee /shoulder /finger problems because of bjj.
I know at some point even with a low training frequence my body will not be able to maintain with out injuries ( I always roll super hard and I only roll at 100% since it s my only training session of the week ) . probably at 40 I will think leaving bjj for a softer sport .
So yeah you impressed me a lot you are a beast!
Thank you for the kind words, Edmundo! 🙏 All the best to you!
I thought it was over for Big Joe, when he clearly wiped away a tear @ 2:07. Ha ha. Great match!
😅👍 Thank you, Jits Grom!
Thank you for your service giant awesome show of sportsmanship
Thank you, Oscar! 🙏
I’m a 59 year old paragon black belt..this is going to be good!🍿
Thank you, Paulo! 🙏
I like these kind of videos where size, skill level, age, etc. is compared and contrasted. Cool stuff.
Have you guys ever seen the video where Dana White took a bunch of top ranked UFC fighters to a military infantry base (think it was Marines not Army not totally sure) and they sparred the troops in unarmed hand to hand and also in melee weapons (sticks/batons, bayonets, plastic training knifes, etc) with safety gear (helmets, rib cage & knee like football pads) and the land troops WHOOPED the mma fighters asses with that stuff-cool and informational content like this one was.
Very cool. I'll have to look for that video.
I'm glad you liked our video. 🙏
sounds like nonsense.
mma fighters from ufc will kill those guys
except for with weapons. Which is obvious lol, MMA isn't about weapons
I’ve done a good bit wrestling and jujitsu, not a crazy amount of time in either, and both are amazing, but jujitsu is much more of a wonder. I think it’s amazing how the older dude still has his breathe under control with decades on the young man. That’s the magic of training jujitsu. Kudos to both 🤙
Thank you, sasquach! And thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
Breathing is Everything!
Love it. The fact that Big Joe actually has some slick skills and knows how to trash talk made this video amazing. 😎
Big Joe is quite the character! Great guy and great grappling competitor, too.
Next level editing! Great match and hilarious!
Thank you, Seamus! 🙏
Technically, old man got a stalling penalty at around the 5:20 mark. But hey, much respect for this. I'm 42 myself and don't know if I'll have it in me to still roll strong, young blue belts at almost 60.
You're right, Falk. Thanks for watching. 🙏
Sick video man! I’m here for it!!

Крепкий мужик седой. Гигант отдышаться не может, а батя уже в норму пришёл.
Thank you, Batman! 🙏
i'm surprised the big guy was not able to brute force his way out of half guard/side control
He came close.
His 1 huge tricep is no match for the combination of the old man’s weight, both arms, and hands locked together around him.

Well, he went very easy on the old man and let the old man play the techniques game with him instead of going all out and finishing the fight. Gotta be really careful to exert power gradually instead of sudden spurts.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
That was awesome. I laughed out loud a few times. Congrats to you both.
Thank you, Ingrid!

@@JohnConnorsMMA Honestly you are one of my favorite channals. I love that you take time to cover small details that a lot of guys miss. I would love for you to cover a little butterfly guard system. Nice shoulder clamp sweep thats what turned the tables
Still think there was some stalling in side control 🧐
Definitely stalling.
Had to cook him lol
If this were any other martial art -- even Judo -- all the comments would be about how the young buck must have been going really easy on the old man out of respect. Despite the fact that you clearly had Big Joe winded and you were as cool as a cucumber by the end of it. But seriously, that was impressive!
Yes, Bjj is the only Art that let you do this.
The only one.
@@Crownholder The only art where a geezer can go into a friendly sparring match with a much younger student and not have every meathead on the internet get big mad that it's not an all-out brawl with prize money on the line. The only one.

@@JohnConnorsMMA My pleasure!
I'm 60 years old, I've studied MMA, never forget, the first thing to go is the speed, the last thing to go is the power, these youngsters just can't wrap their brain around it.
You got it, Bart! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
What that fight states me is that bjj is not the so often mentioned superpower.
Sure the "old" guy rolled great, but in a "outside the gym szenario" the big guy would have stomped the smaller one in the first 30 seconds.
If you want to be more safe in self defense add muay thai or boxing to it and don't rely on just one sport.
That's what that clearly showed to me.
Respect to both of them and their rolling abilities.

I can't subscribe....I've already been subscribed for a while! Love this channel. I'm 38, dealing with minor injuries from rolling, and keep doubting whether I should continue because my body is not healing or recovering like it did 10 years ago. However, you inspire me to stop being a wuss and keep getting after it until I'm 6 feet under. No excuses, play like a champion! Great videos!
I'm upset because I feel this video sends the wrong message. If that man were to mma match with you, you would be dead. Make the distinction more obvious than you did and I might have subscribed.

Awesome stuff. You and I used to train together at Boston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu back in 2001-2002. Glad you’re still rolling!
Finally, a fight video that gets to it. Outstanding.
Thank you, Christopher! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
rolling at 59 and somewhat awesome is just great. I am 51 and been black belt for 6 years but zi feel like i am at end of road...torn shoulder and some kind of burning pain in middle of my back from a neck injury. For this guy to be going strong is just great to see. God bless him. Big boy was on his knees when in side control I would have smothered down on the older guy causing him great pressure and breathing issues. Just an observation.
Thank you, Eddy! 🙏 All the best with your training! 🙏
Seeing this keeps me going and makes me happy. It’s easy to have excuses as you get older. I’m 40 now, Father Time waits for no one. Just gotta keep push’n
So glad you liked it, moos! 🙏 All the best with your training!
@@JohnConnorsMMA brown belt Judo, purple belt Jiujitsu. It’s hard not to get in my head about age and cardio.
I finally had to quit comparing myself to the 16-22 year kids that are just so talented and can train 5 days a week.
Lol my body only allows 3 maybe 4!!!
Keep the content coming
@@moos138 Thank you moos! Good luck with your training!
Old man jiu jitsu doesnt stop because of the bell.
Keep going until DEATH.
You're right. skunk! 😅👍
To be honest, I said to myself: "this is a bad idea"
I didn't expect the old man to perform that good. That black belt wasn't granted for free.
Thank you, Celin!
Big Joe will be facing another opponent in an upcoming video.

@@JohnConnorsMMA can't wait to see him rolling again.
@@JohnConnorsMMA I do some training every now and then, so it's a pleasure to watch videos like this. It's also highly motivating. I'm 38 and I haven't visualized myself even getting a purple belt. But watching people like you remind me that it's never too late.
I just got randomly recommended this video bc I watch a lot of grappling stuff--small world, I was in the Marines with Big Joe!! He is one of the coolest guys I ever met in the Corps, and we were real good friends. He is definitely one of the funniest guys I know. He is also Mass-hole.
Fun fact: for some reason he brought his high school wrestling uniform to base with him and I have a really old pic of him sporting it somewhere on my phone...lol!
Nice to see ya on the tube, Jo!
That's awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏
And send me that pic so I can put it in the community tab section.
Also, Big Joe will be facing another opponent in an upcoming video.
