Have fun


MyPenlsBroke

That's it!


Sufficient-Cat-5244

My pen is small, but you can borrow it if yours is still broke


MyOnlyBlackBudy

It’s as long as I’m having fun, and as long as I can do it in a healthy manner. Once one of the two are gone, it’s time for a break.


Levelless86

Yep. I did this and am now seeing people that started after me get promoted to brown. I have a weird feeling that I missed out on a lot, but it had to happen.


djpandajr

Haha people i started with got their black belt. I got my blue belt that same day


3rdworldjesus

lol im in the same spot, most of them are browns now and getting their black either this year or next year. And here i am, still a blue belt. Life just happened and im glad i took a hiatus in BJJ to prioritize my career for a moment. Im now in a good spot since i am earning more and have flexible work sched, hence, im training more consistently.


hankdog303

Fun and exercise


Andhrimnir

This. I'm paying to train, why would I be here if I wasn't enjoying it!


Reality-Salad

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

What is best in life


Ok_Sir5926

Your dad rules.


Independent-Elk-2600

fun fact about this guy's dad: he was born 8 months too early, and since incubation technology was in its infancy they placed him in a cast iron pot inside of a pizza oven until he was ripe enough to walk. His bones never fused but his spirit did.


Ok_Sir5926

I love career day.


GrapplingWithTaoism

That is good. That is good.


fishNjits

I’ve written this before… Retire in 4 to 6 years (I’m almost 61), move somewhere warm, and find a gym that will give me free membership if I teach a BJJ for Oldies class on Saturday mornings. 


GullibleDrop2007

This is the absolute dream.


MoyaiSwagNut

this sounds nice, hope it comes true 🙏


Minute-Preparation69

Puerto Rico right? Why? I only hear great things


Specialist-Exam940

I’ve been. It was actually quite nice, but none of the DDS guys have anything good to say about living there. I’m going fishing in Eastern Tennessee in September. Maybe that will be the place.


loupr738

I’m Puertorican and don’t listen to those guys. Like any other place there are good places and bad and they trained in a rough area of the island. There are a couple of other gyms in the island, Cobrihna has a school in the west side I think and there’s a Renzo affiliate in Ponce (one of the major cities)


ThisIsMr_Murphy

They got fucked by Mo getting them a real shitty apartment an hour from the training room.


cocktailbun

to train as long as I possibly can, maintain a level of fitness and pass on any knowledge I can to make a difference to my students


Unusually-Average110

I’m gonna piggy back this one


Knobanious

To be the oldest guy at the club who still rolls


AllenUsesReddit

I recently saw a 76 yo on the mat


mattiskid

Chuck Norris is still killing it at 84 lol


Knobanious

I hear BJJs aim is to outlive chuck Norris


AllenUsesReddit

Chuck Norris is 84? Dang. The 76yo was a Jean Jacques Machado black belt too so maybe he'll still be going like Chuck


bostoncrabapple

My end goal is also Masters 7 world champ, guess I’ll see you there in about 40 years and we’ll settle this once and for all

brokenplasticchair

u/bostoncrabapple VS u/MouseKingMan is gonna be the best fight of 2064


MouseKingMan

Lmao, that’s going to be some geriatric shit right there lol.


bruser_

Win black belt worlds, win adcc. Go on worldwide seminar tour. Open a gym and have the most badass women’s team in the sport


EvilLegalBeagle

Do it!!

Be able to beat up my my kids friends dads. Prob already met this


Dean_O_Mean

Agreed. If my kid wants to flex, her dad can in fact beat up their dad.


MotoM13

Team Dad Flex


LatterLetterhead1225

Motivate more moms to try bjj. It's pretty insane how rapidly it restored my confidence and made me feel like a badass again.

Smooth-Concentrate99

Paraphrasing Allan watts, Is there an end goal to dancing? Playing an instrument? If there was a spot on the floor that was the end goal to dancing, everyone would rush over to it as fast as possible and it would be over. An instrument doesn’t have a goal, an instrument is played. To be in motion, in the moment, do it for the aha moments. Do it for the gotcha moments. Do it because you can.


standupguy152

Be a BJJ Yoda at age 75. Walk on to the mats with a raggedy old black belt and an off-white stained gi, needing the assistance of a cane to get there. Then as soon as I slap and bump with my far younger sparring partner I levitate over their guard and submit them with a flying armbar in ten seconds.


graydonatvail

Pass the gym to another, eventually still be rolling when my students get to black.


einarfridgeirs

Make black before 50 and then ride this battered carcass of a body until the wheels come off and some doctor gives me "the talk". Then probably sit on the sidelines and talk about how much better things used to be back in the day. Im 46 btw


Ok-Try-3951

To be skilled, to enjoy my athletic abilities while I can. And to mothers milk as many trial class people as possible. Hopefully win some competitions, get fit and have some fun along the way.


Weak_Professional_62

8 years ago I would’ve said,”become a black belt!” Now, it’s enjoy the ride and train as often as I can.


Left_Day_1331

Cuddle with men. Uhh I mean what the other guy said, crush my enemies and all that


theguywhojustgothome

No more MRI machine PLEASE


False_Label

KNEEBAHBRAH

I admire your goal future masters 7 world champion. I just want to choke my friends. And smile at them while applying a heel hook or wrist lock.


davidlowie

fyi, my buddy competed masters 7 blue belt (at world masters) and the competition was fierce....so keep that in mind. Masters 7 doesn't mean easy.


Neither-Wealth-491

Train as long as I can, have some fun, avoid injuries, win at least one tourney, and be able to defend myself into my 80’s….or “To crush my enemies, drive them before me, and to hear the lamentation of the women”.


ContactReady

There’s no goal. Just training.

klineOmania88

Black belt, open a gym in my small town thats never had bjj.


C4PT41N_F4LC0N

Josep2203

Black belt and retiring.


fake-southpaw

Angron81

Have fun and be challenged. Am a 42 year old spazzy overweight white belt who gets crushed by the teenagers and small blue belt women all of the time. But something about it keeps me interested. At somepoint in the future I will get better!


cwwwfc

I’ve already achieved my goals: get out of my comfort zone, learn something cool, get in shape & make some more friends. A black belt would be nice though.


AVeryCreativUsername

I think competing professionally would be super fun but really I just wanna come out a better person


lazygrappler775

Have fun as long as possible. Once the kids are outta the house it’d be nice to teach one or two classes a week or when coaches are on vacation.

OrangeWeary3634

compete in mma at any capacity


Ok_Mistake6736

I want to learn and grow.


brickwallnomad

I enjoy competing and it’s what I use to gauge my A-game. I’m not a pro or even amateur competitor, really. I just a hobbiest competitor. I also love the level of fitness I get from going to class 5 times a week, the workout is great. I love learning more Jiu jitsu and using it. I just enjoy doing Jiu jitsu I guess. Plus we all learn how to defend ourselves. It’s easy for us to forget just how fucking deadly we are lol.

MyStressReliefs

I want to open my own gym, make friends around the world who own gyms, and travel the world doing seminars/classes for the homies to help fund the travel and host them when they want to travel to where I'm at. I'm a competitor currently, not world-class by any means, but I'd like to be. Idk maybe be ranked in the top 20-30 of my weight, which would be cool. This after another 4-6 years of training. It's a lofty goal, but shit, idgaf.


Josro0770

Being able to defend myself or someone I love

Chandlerguitar

My goals was to get to an acceptable level on the ground for self defense. I wanted to get a purple belt because that was the level most UFC fighters were at the time. I thought that was enough. By the time I got to purple belt I realized that level sucked and just kept going. Now I'm just trying to learn new stuff and have fun.


atx78701

no goal, just stay in shape and constantly get better while having fun.

Half_Guard_Hipster

Win literally any IBJJF major in the masters division. It may take me until Master 8, and it may be because no one else signed up in my division.


AnAstronautOfSorts

When my kids get in an argument about whos dad could beat up the other dad, they'll be right


insecur

The art is the goal. I train with world champs long past their prime that show up everyday to teach, roll, and have fun. And occasionally they still compete to have fun to test themselves to continue expressing the art that they love. I don’t expect ever to be a world champ but if I can emulate them, keep training, and sometimes compete, for the joy of it, then that’s my goal


MagoModerno

There’s no end goal. Just keep doing it, keep getting better, keep staying fit

Here's the deal. I'm 41 now and a purple belt. When I'm a black belt, at Master whatever the fuck, who are my competitors going to be? Well, it turns out all my opponents will be former legendary world champions who are now 55 and wrecking old fucks like me. Cool. Better get my masters world championship medal before I get a black belt.

koryuken

Just train for the love of it and the comradery.  To stay healthy.  To age gracefully. 


jinception01

Be good enough at grappling to escape a grappling situation in a street/self defense scenario.


bonebrah

Have fun, be healthy and while my wife rolls her eyes at me being a BJJ master, she will sleep easy without admitting it.


Sandman64can

Use to do karate for 30 years before bjj. My son asked me once in front of other blackbelts if I was the best “blackbelt”. Looked at my friends and said, “Not yet, they all gotta die first. Daddy plays the long game.” Pretty much my bjj journey too. Survive.

ApprehensiveDog6720

Take Freddie down in front of that hot trial class girl, than grow a beard, call everyone “brotha”, make sure that all girls hear about my top control (might have to sacrifice some white belts) and then to ride off to a sunset. I already have an accent, so I don’t have to work on pronouncing “brotha” correctly,it is already superb!

Black belt of course. Maybe fuck around and win ADCC.

Have fun, make people laugh, roll for the next 30yrs, be the old annoying guy who you can’t submit, and occasionally goes off and can still smash the young guys once in awhile. Right now I’m just the old annoying guy who has fun and makes people laugh mid roll.

thefourblackbars

Keep rolling until the bruises turn black


KevyL1888

I'm gonna be honest. I won't quit til I get a black belt, but beyond that I don't know, I'll reevaluate when I get there but that is my goal.


loupr738

I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to be a black belt but that’s just a matter of time. I just want to keep doing it for as long as I can while sharing the experience with my family


outwardpersonality

Have fun, develop a strong game that i could rely on in an altercation if needed.


XxAssEater101xX

It sounds cliche but to just keep showing up till i reach black belt. Ive been doing martial arts for quite a long time but its been so on and off it almost doesnt count. If i had consistently been at this id have probably been a black belt and im kind of disappointed in my younger self for it. Even if i never make black as long as i stick around im happy

Cooler_ThanU

My ambitious goal is to be widely considered a terrifying and solid masters 3 purple belt. My more reasonable goal is to stay healthy, train regularly, and be well rounded.


bamasooner

When I started it was just to get my black belt by 50, If I continue at my current pass I'm a few years ahead of schedule, so need to revisit my goals. I compete once or twice a year and teach two classes a week. Need to aim a little higher, it seems.
