who can do ju jitsu? pretty well anyone, regardless of sex, size, level of fitness, age. juniors can start at 5 in some clubs, subject to the instructor's assessment of their relative maturity. (all children are different and some 5 year-olds are too young in terms of their ability to concentrate, stay awake, be separated from parents). at louth the minimum age is 11. there's no upper age limit; there is a black belt 4th dan in essex who is in his eighties.
