About Old Man On The Mat

Old Man On The Mat isn’t just a podcast — it’s proof that the grind doesn’t end at 40. It just gets smarter.

Hosted by a slightly beat-up but still dangerous grappler, this show dives into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, martial arts, combat sports, and fitness after 40. I sit down with BJJ practitioners, martial artists, coaches, veterans, fighters, and everyday athletes who refuse to hang up the gi just because the body creaks a little louder in the morning.

We talk about training smarter, staying strong, recovering from injuries, and keeping your edge even when the younger guys think they’ve got you figured out.

This podcast is built the old-school way — early mornings, late nights, road trips, editing sessions, and chasing real conversations that inspire people to keep showing up, tying their belt, and stepping on the mat.

Because the truth is…

the mat doesn’t care how old you are. It only cares if you show up.
