When Is the Best Age to Start Training BJJ? 

Kids can start training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as early as four years old. Younger kids will focus more on physical awareness and socializing. For adults, the best age to start training is now.

There is no lower limit to the age at which you start jiu-jitsu. As with all skills, the sooner your start learning it, the more potential you have in your future. However, kids need to focus on simplistic movements and avoid teaching submissions. Kids have plenty of time to learn, and it is crucial not to risk injury.

For adults, the best age to start training is now. Always consult a physician and evaluate your body's capabilities before beginning. Adults practice jiu-jitsu at all ages, and it is a great exercise that can boost your confidence, cardio, and mental sharpness. For beginner adults, begin jiu-jitsu with the intent of learning a martial art. Do not go in there thinking you will show people who is boss. Be humble and realize that this is a skill that you have to learn. You will not be immediately good at it.
