He's 46, Trains 6 Days a Week, and His Resting Heart Rate Is 45 BPM | Gile Huni on Sloth Jiu-Jitsu, Crocodile Passing & Natural Performance EP105

If you're doing BJJ over 40 and wondering how a 46-year-old black belt trains six days a week, competes in adult divisions against athletes half his age, and posts a resting heart rate of 45 BPM at competition prep — this is the episode that shows you exactly how.Gile Huni is the founder of BJJ Eastern Europe (BJJEE.com), creator of Sloth Jiu-Jitsu, developer of the Crocodile Passing instructional, author of the Sloth Jiu-Jitsu and Sloth Strength e-books, and head instructor at Kimura BJJ Serbia in Belgrade. He has been training for 25 years, answers messages from midlife grapplers around the world every day, and has built one of the most aligned missions in the global BJJ community — keeping people on the mats for life. In this episode you'll learn the sloth mindset that lets you roll forever without getting tired or hurt, the crocodile passing system that a white belt used to completely shut him down in a seminar, and the natural performance stack — including HRV-guided training, micro-dose Cialis for blood flow, and NutriVal biomarker testing — that has his blood pressure at 117/75 and his HRV 18% higher than it was a year ago.For the BJJ over 40 and midlife jiu-jitsu community — this is the blueprint.Topics covered:→ Half French, half Filipino, living in Belgrade — how Gile got here→ Watching UFC on bootleg VHS in London in the 90s and knowing immediately→ Blue belt at Alliance Jiu-Jitsu in Ipanema — competing at Mundials against Braulio Estima, Rodrigo Cavaca, Vinny Magalhães→ The hamstring tear from tornado guard that forced the reinvention→ Half guard and pressure passing — terrible at first, then built a global instructional around it→ The sloth mindset: roll completely relaxed, fight fire with water, climb the tree→ Eduardo Teles at the Europeans — the moment that crystallized everything→ Why competition is easier than training when your students are solving the problem every day→ Crocodile passing explained: double underhook, horizontal climb, the smother position→ The white belt in Greece who did it perfectly and completely shut Gile down→ Bring them to the deep waters: slowing down the 19-year-old wrestler→ Old man's isometric strength — why it only gets better with age→ Breath control as the foundation: Paulo Sergio's nose breathing at 49 years old→ Your heart rate at 80, his heart rate at 150 — who gets tired?→ Morning routine: cold shower, sunlight, walking the dog, espresso→ Creatine: 10–15g daily — the move from 5g and what changed→ NutriVal gut biome test — finding the omega-3 deficiency and fixing it→ Vitamin D3/K2, magnesium glycinate for blood pressure, L-theanine for calm→ Micro-dose Cialis: 5mg daily, 18% HRV improvement, blood pressure 117/75→ HRV-guided training load: Polar chest strap every morning, train according to the number→ Microdose psilocybin — competing calm and collected→ 45 BPM resting heart rate at competition prep at 46 years old→ Six days a week, Sunday off — the only non-negotiable rest day→ 12 black belts at Kimura BJJ Serbia, 23 classes a week, Russians who fled the draft→ BJJ Eastern Europe: affiliates across Europe, articles, instructionals, e-books→ Touching every student every day — Adam Redzovic's advice→ No politics, no religion, no soccer — the three rules at the gym→ One word: Resilience→ Breathe or Tap — breathwork for jiu-jitsu and midlife recovery:ThatJiujiteiro.com or YouTube @thatjiujiteiro━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔗 Find Gile Huni:Instagram: @gilebjjeeBJJ Eastern Europe: bjjee.com | @BJJEEKimura BJJ Serbia: @KimurabjjserbiaSloth Jiu-Jitsu & Crocodile Passing Instructionals: bjjee.comE-Books (Sloth Jiu-Jitsu · Sloth Strength): bjjee.com🔗 Lineage Provisions — Official Podcast Partner:15% off with code JOSHBUTTON at lineageprovisions.com🔗 Find Josh:Instagram: @thatjiujiteiro | @IamJoshButton | @stopkillingtheplantsWebsite: joshbutton.com
