I am no Randy Couture. But, I am not joking. I really believe that my age does not physically limit me in any way at this point. The only thing limiting me is my skill.

I have always done martial arts. At 27 years old, I was just as sore and tired after a karate class as I am now after a BJJ class. I actually train harder now than I ever have in my "youth". I am going backpacking on a 6 mile trip to the Sierra Nevadas for a two days this week with my teen age son. In my mind, I consider these two days rest days.

I asked Rickson once about this once. He told me that he thinks age is just a number in your head. You are how old you think you are.

What you believe can make a huge difference.
