Post-Surgery Recovery for Combat Athletes: 

Surgery knocked you off the mats. This is the roadmap back.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt coach Steven M. Cowan faced the nightmare every athlete dreads: major surgery that opened his core from ribcage to below the navel. A year and a half later he was back in black-belt competition—then chose to dedicate his life to coaching smarter, safer, longer careers. In this practical, no-nonsense guide, Stephen shares the exact framework he used—and now teaches worldwide—to return to training with confidence.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Over 40

Whether you’re starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 40 or adapting your game after decades on the mat, this book is your guide to training smarter, avoiding injury, and enjoying the art for life.

Written by 4th-degree black belt Steven Cowan, who began his BJJ journey at 29 and has trained and taught well into his fifties, this book blends personal experience, proven training strategies, and up-to-date research on how the body changes with age.
