About this episode
Built Not Born Podcast - #192 - Steve Maxwell: Jiu-Jitsu for Life | How to Stay on the Mat Forever 🥋💪🔥
Steve Maxwell is a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt, world-renowned strength coach, and the man who introduced Philadelphia to Gracie Jiu Jitsu in the 1990's.
Steve opened the first BJJ academy on the East Coast, Maxercise, on 7th and Chestnut in Philadelphia.
Steve is back with a message that every aging athlete needs to hear: you're going to lose it no matter what — but you can slow the loss down to a trickle.
In this conversation, we go deep on how to stay on the mat for life.
Strength training, Isometric training, flow rolling, sleep protocols, intentions over goals, and why every single BJJ injury Steve ever sustained came from competition.
