Do your best to make it 3 days a week. When I pushing harder for a tournament, I do 4 days but the risk of dings and injuries goes up (maybe because I'm 53). You're going to be sore for a little while. Just remember to slow down and breathe.

Out of curiosity, what point do you decide to go back to rolling after a back injury? I've have moderate protrusions in all three lower lumbar joints and the neuropathy comes and goes.
We just enrolled my 5 year old at a Carlson Gracie gym in DFW and I'm toying around with going myself. I haven't practiced BJJ in 15 years.

As mentioned earlier, I'm in boxing currently and plan to join bjj later this year, seriously can't wait. What is yall's training frequency?
Starting to do some early planning, I target boxing 3 to 4 times a week, I also love it. I know to ramp up and learn in bjj I'll need to go more than once a week meaning I'll likely reduce my boxing training. Busy job and 2 kiddos at home is making do this early planning lol.
I'm 45 and started at 42, three days a week, with a minimum of one day rest in between, is the sweet spot for me. I figured out pretty early that my body doesn't hold up well to going on consecutive days. My current schedule is Monday and Wednesday evenings and Saturday morning.
If work and kids arent* drowning me i really like 1 or 2 really hard scrappy days and 2 or 3 flows creative days
Thanks for the repliessorry for spamming the extra question here.
I train boxing at John's Gym in Austin and don't want to drop that. I'm looking to start BJJ, and Gracie Barra Cedar Park offers a 6am class that fits my schedule, so I'd train BJJ there.
Occasionally, I'd also like to drop into John's BJJ classes when my schedule allows.
I understand I'd need to pick a "home" BJJ gym for belt evaluation, and John's recommended training at Gracie exclusively until I get a few stripes or reach blue belt before cross-training.
Any insight from the pros here or disagree with the approach above?

Interesting that they told you to train at the Gracies when they do BJJ themselves, unless its just a scheduling difference. I live in Georgetown, so I know some of the guys from John's.
If you are in Cedar Park or Austin, you might want to check out Gracie Humaita, in either Cedar Park or on Ben White in Austin.
Was a little surprised too. They didn't have issue with cross training bjj, just from a learning standpoint recommended not doing it yet as it could cause some confusion in new concepts.
I figured it would be opposite and expedite my ramp up.
The dude at John's again just gave his recommendation, he was a white belt. If I learn from others that cross training early does make more sense then ill still just do that as it was my original plan and just select one as the "home" bjj gym for belt evals.
(I looked at Gracie Humaita as well, although its about 12 mins from my house. Gracie Barra is literally 2 mins which helps with the 6am aspect.)

The owner/Lead Instructor of my gym, Gracie Humaita, Austin received his Coral Belt in Rio this past month.
