The Purposeful Grappler — BJJ After 40 Training Workbook

Description

Give every session a purpose.

You train consistently—but do you know what you’re working towards when you step onto the mat?

The Purposeful Grappler helps you turn one recurring problem into four weeks of focused practice. Created by black belt, coach and European medallist Simon Kenny, it gives you a practical way to make better use of your training and recognise progress beyond submissions.

Inside the workbook

• A four-week training process: notice the problem, build a response, connect your actions, then test and review.
• Flexible training schedules for two, three or four sessions each week.
• Three worked examples covering guard retention, side-control escapes and completing passes.
• Practical troubleshooting for skills that work in practice but disappear during rolling.
• Training guidance for grapplers over 40: choosing partners, adjusting intensity and giving rounds a useful purpose.
• Reusable worksheets you can print or complete digitally using fillable PDF fields.
• A short between-round reset to help you settle your breathing and refocus.

Built to be used again

Work through the programme alongside your regular classes. Once you’ve reviewed your progress, repeat the process with another part of your game—or continue developing the same skill.

You don’t need to win every round to improve. You need something useful to practise and a way to recognise what’s changing.

“A win doesn’t have to mean winning the round. Small wins can create big gains.”
— Simon Kenny
