Stop Training Like You're 30 - Chris Haueter

Stop Training Like You're 30. Start Training Like You're 60.

The counterintuitive secret Chris Haueter discovered that transformed his BJJ after 50

"
I was 50 trying to train like 30. I was on ice after every session. So I changed to being a 50 year old who trains like I'm 60. That's how I got better!

The Philosophy That Changes Everything - Chris Haueter

The discovery that
changed everything.

At 50, Chris Haueter was facing the same reality every older practitioner knows: ice packs after every session, nagging injuries, and younger guys using him as a wrestling dummy.

He'd already achieved everything β€” member of the Dirty Dozen, 6th degree black belt, legendary status.

But then he discovered something that would revolutionize how he trained...

"
Train as if you're 10 years older, not 10 years younger. This forces you to pursue the Art β€” pure efficiency. No wasted movement. No unnecessary effort. Just the minimum required to win.
β€” Chris Haueter's Training Philosophy

This wasn't just theory. Chris put it to the test.

When you train like you're older, you can't rely on strength, speed, or athleticism. You're forced to find the most efficient path.

And here's the secret: The most efficient path is the Art of Jiu-Jitsu itself.

What "training older" actually means:

βœ“ Every movement must be necessary β€” no energy wasted
βœ“ Leverage replaces strength β€” let physics do the work
βœ“ Positioning beats speed β€” be in the right place, don't scramble
βœ“ Technique becomes invisible β€” maximum result, minimum effort

This is the Art of Jiu-Jitsu:

Not doing more. Doing less. Not working harder. Working smarter.

When you train 10 years older, you strip away everything unnecessary and discover pure Jiu-Jitsu.

The young guys are doing Jiu-Jitsu plus athleticism.
You'll be doing just Jiu-Jitsu. And that's where the real progress is.
