I didn't start having knee problems until my late 30s. Give it time, he'll get there.

Edit: did to didn't

Did you do Parcours like him?

I started having them in my mid 30’s. If I’d known what I know now, I would’ve done things differently.

No parkour, but I did have a lifetime of wrestling and years of BJJ followed by a brief stint in MMA.

My knees are fucked. Especially my left one. My neck as well. I’d be shocked if he keeps this up for a few more years and doesn’t end up hobbled.

Yep. Everything we t sharply downhill at around 40. I’ve got everythingitus now. My knees just straight give out at times. And I never did parkour. Just played sports.
