Can I start BJJ after 40?

Yes. Students in their 50s and 60s train at AllStar Martial Arts in Union, NJ, and many started after 40. BJJ rewards technique over strength, you set the pace, and new students are not put into hard rolling. Two to three classes a week is a suggested rhythm.

Why it works

Leverage, timing and position reward technique over strength. You get in shape by training, so you do not need to be fit first.

How to start

  • Begin with the free 2-week trial
  • Train 2 to 3 times a week
  • Take it at your own pace
  • Check with your doctor if you have health concerns
