Interview with Richard Colavin

Some might say that grappling is a young man’s sport. I disagree! I mean, let’s look at Helio Gracie and his brother Carlos. They lived to 96 and 92 years old, respectively and still trained until they died.

Now, of course… grappling in your younger years can come easier, but I can’t wait for you to hear this interview with Richard Colavin, who started training… not in his 30s, not in his 40s, but YES in his 50s.

As of this recording, Richard is a 4th-degree Black belt and is in his late 70’s. Richard is still teaching, every week and if you’ve taken his classes you know he is all about the slow and steady pressure. Richard has always been an inspiration to me, showing me that you can train smart and that this is not just a young person’s sport!

In this interview, we talk about starting BJJ in his 50s, the early days of BJJ in San Diego and his motivation to keep training in his late 70s. Enjoy!
