Had an awesome with US black belt Glenn Lambdin in September, who kindly dropped into the UK on his way home to the US after teaching in Europe, to deliver a free seminar with the older grappler in mind, but was open to grapplers of every age.
Glenn has a book out, Confessions of an Older Grappler - The Art of Staying on the Mats for Life and took the class through a number of concepts and technique sequences that he now uses to keep him on the mats at the young age of 68, together with multiple knee and back surgeries.
A great time was had by all, some very cool moves that are now in our arsenal and in true WBJJ style, we took Glenn over to the Spoons to sample first hand the awesomeness of the pub and its environs and Glenn is now a Spoons fan :)
I also met some really cool older grapplers and I look forward to training with these guys again real soon and as Glenn says in his book...
'Youth and skill are no match against old age and treachery...'
