ELEVATE YOUR GAME!
Old Grappler Summit is an exclusive three day gathering for dedicated over-40 Jiu Jitsu practitioners of all levels (men and women) that want to increase their effectiveness and longevity on the mat.
This event is about more than just training, it's an opportunity to make amazing new friends that not only share your love of Jiu Jitsu, but understand the challenges of training over the age of 40. It's also an opportunity to enjoy a fun getaway weekend in sunny San Diego California.
Training will take place at the world-famous Clark Gracie Jiu Jitsu academy. How cool is that?!
Space is limited so please don't wait and miss out on participating in Old Grappler Summit!
THE AGENDA
Our agenda is simple: To quantifiably improve your Jiu Jitsu and have fun! During our 3 days/7 hours of training you will gain practical offensive and defensive strategies, techniques, and solutions for being more successful and effective against the younger athletes you face on the mat. Plus, you'll get some personalized troubleshooting for specific problems you might be facing.

Bonus Session:
Breathwork for BJJ
We’ve invited Miles Lukas to teach a one hour breathwork for BJJ session.
If you are not familiar with Miles, he’s a BJJ Blackbelt and Wim Hof certified instructor who has developed a breathwork program specifically for Jiu Jitsu practitioners. Miles has also trained directly with Rickson Gracie to learn his approach to breathing.
Leaning how to breathe properly during high intensity exercise is a game-changer. Imagine being able to get through a rolling session without gassing out? Or even being able to recover your energy when you feel depleted during a roll.
We can personally attest to the effectiveness of this method of breathing, so we are excited to share it with you!

TESTIMONIALS
Jason Galetti
"Exceeded expectations, came out with not only a few new moves but better strategy in terms of seeking attachments, islands of solitude, and flow rolling = better muscle memory. Also good to see hear others journey as older folks and after meeting the oldest gentlemen there I have zero excuses any more."
William Cheshire
"Rick put on an amazing seminar targeted at the challenges we older grapplers face. I learned an lot and met a bunch of really nice people. I would definitely attend another."
Chris Matlack
"The instruction was excellent. The social event was top notch. The opportunity to meet like minded practitioners and work together on the same level was invaluable."

Mitch Waldstein
"No one does it like Rick! He articulates concepts in a way that really opens your mind to deeper perspectives. It was a treat to spend time with him and learn a few of his “efficiency” tricks."
Frank Bredimus
"I throughly enjoyed attending this seminar. A great training facility and a great town. Rick is a great instructor and is very knowledgeable and patient at explaining Jiu Jitsu."
Les Lent
"This event showed me how to “level up” my game by slowing down stronger and faster players. World class event!"

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I'm Rick Ellis.
I'm a blackbelt under legendary Professor Roy Dean. I run The Art of Skill channel on YouTube.
I'm living proof that you can start Jiu Jitsu relatively late in life and go on to become a blackbelt.
When I was new at BJJ my strategy was to match my training partner's speed, power, and strength. In fact, if they went hard, I tried to go even harder. But as you get older, that's a terrible strategy, one that will get you injured. Trust me, I know that first hand.
Instead, you need technical mastery and efficiency. You need perfect defense, great timing, and a versatile offensive game. I've spent years developing and teaching that style of Jiu Jitsu.
And I can help you too!
