Jiu-Jitsu After 40: Train Smart, Recover Better, and Keep Showing Up | Jason Pittman

Training Jiu-Jitsu after 40 requires smarter recovery, better habits, and a long-term mindset. In this episode, Jason “The Hitman” Pittman joins the Uncle Wristlock Podcast for a deep dive into training Jiu-Jitsu over 40 (and over 50)—how to stay durable, keep improving, and build a game that lasts. Jason shares stories from Portland’s old-school MMA scene (Team Quest, Kurt Crawford’s gym days), the lessons he learned from legends like Robert Follis, Evan Tanner, and Greg Piper, and how those experiences shaped his coaching today. We also get practical: why the clinch and pummeling matter for modern grapplers (even if you’re a sport Jiu-Jitsu guard-puller), how to approach strength training and conditioning as you age, and the “cheat codes” Jason swears by—hydration, recovery, annual blood work, and making smarter choices that keep you on the mats. Finally, Jason breaks down his coaching approach for beginners, older students, and women, including how to build confidence, match training partners wisely, and create a safe culture where people actually stick with training. Guest: Jason Pittman — BJJ Black Belt, MMA coach, striking coach (BTT Happy Valley) Host: Sovann Pen — Uncle Wristlock Podcast In this episode Jason’s path: boxing (1994) → early Jiu-Jitsu → Portland MMA “deep end” training Old-school rounds, no timer, and what that built (and what we’d change now) The clinch: head position, underhooks, pummeling—and why it carries over to half guard + passing Competing as a “middle” athlete: hobbyist AND competitor Over-50 training: weights, intervals, recovery days, and long-term consistency Coaching: protecting new students from themselves (and why “watching day” is smart) Women’s self-defense: awareness, simple tools, and why one class is a gateway—not mastery Train with Jason: Jason teaches at BTT Happy Valley: Tuesdays & Thursdays 7–8am, plus striking every other Saturday.
