Updated: Oct 25, 2023


Yes, you can start practicing Jiu Jitsu at an advanced age. In fact, there are many benefits to starting Jiu Jitsu later in life.


For one, Jiu Jitsu can help you to stay active and fit. As you get older, it is important to stay active in order to maintain your health and fitness. Jiu Jitsu is a great way to do this because it is a full-body workout that helps to improve your cardiovascular health, strength, and flexibility.


Additionally, Jiu Jitsu can help you to improve your balance and coordination. As you get older, your balance and coordination can start to decline. Jiu Jitsu can help to improve these skills by requiring you to move your body in different ways.


Finally, Jiu Jitsu can help you to build confidence and self-esteem. As you learn new skills and progress in your Jiu Jitsu journey, you will start to feel more confident in yourself. This can be a great feeling, especially as you get older.


If you are thinking about starting Jiu Jitsu, it is important to find a school that is experienced in working with older adults. You should also talk to your doctor to make sure that Jiu Jitsu is right for you.
