Well, I have not been to BJJ training since Monday, May 19. I became ill with a stomach virus Tuesday and was sick until Friday. The school was closed Sat-Monday due to the holiday, and Tuesday I left for a business trip in Florida and just returned home this morning. I'm looking forward to getting back to training and pressing forward.
I'm very excited that the BJJ school I train at, Roberto Kaelin BJJ in Keller, just hired a Muay Thai and MMA instructor. I was told that he had his own school in Miami, FL where he trained fighters from American Top Team in Muay Thai and MMA. I missed his introductory class last week because I was sick.
One of my faults is that I expect to be or become an expert at everything I do. The same goes for BJJ. Now that we are going to have a Muay Thai and MMA instructor at our school I already see myself thinking that maybe I'll try to fight some day. I've always had a fighting spirit and love new challenges. This is a problem because I'm 34. In the real world, I have no business thinking that I would ever be able to compete in MMA. I'm too old to start on that path. I wish I had started training ten years ago.

if you really wanted to do mma you could always try it once. i know someone 42 that still does it. your not that old... yet.
Hey babe, I don't think you are too old! I love you, and I am so glad that BJJ makes you happy!
Your not too old.. Royce is 40, Couture is 43, Severn was well over 45 while still competing. Ken Shamrock was age 44 before stoping, Renzo Gracie 41, Bas Rutten 41...and so on.
