Coach Rex & the gym

Does Rex still compete?

He turned pro in MMA at 42, so he is not the man to tell you your window has closed. These days the job is coaching and cornering.

I turned pro in MMA at 42. Most men that age are telling stories about what they nearly did.

These days the job is coaching and cornering, and that is a full week on its own. If you want the current picture of what I am competing in, ask me, or read my background.

You are probably really asking whether you are too old. You are not, and I am a poor candidate to tell you otherwise. Starting late changes what you train, not whether you train: more technique, longer warm ups, fewer stupid rounds. See whether you are too old to start. Well past forty and after self-defense rather than sport? Learning this in your sixties.
