Competing at IBJJF World Masters After 40: What Nobody Tells You | 40 & Fighting #147

Episode 147 of the 40 & Fighting Podcast comes to you from a brand-new location — The Hive, the new home base for Sneakreaper. This week, we settle into The Hive and catch up after another busy stretch of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, competition, travel, and community events. A big part of the episode is Anthony's experience competing at IBJJF World Master, one of the biggest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments for Masters athletes. We talk about preparing for the event, stepping onto the competition mats, the level of competition at World Masters, and what you learn from testing yourself against experienced grapplers from around the world. We also give you a look at The Hive, talk about what Sneakreaper is building with its new home base, and discuss some of the events and projects coming up. In Episode 147: • Anthony competes at BJJ World Masters • What it's like competing in the Masters divisions • Preparing mentally and physically for a major BJJ tournament • Lessons learned from competition • Winning, losing, and continuing to improve • Our first podcast from The Hive • Sneakreaper's new home base • Building a stronger Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts community • Upcoming seminars and events • What's next for 40 & Fighting • Plenty of the usual BJJ talk and banter For those of us training and competing later in life, events like World Masters are a reminder that the goal isn't just winning medals. It's continuing to challenge yourself, stay healthy, improve your Jiu-Jitsu, and keep showing up.
