How many people know of people still in there 60's or older doing Jujutsu. I know Helio Gracie still is. I don't mean just teach class or go to testings. I mean gets out on the floor plays uki as much as tori. Does every thing associated with Jujutsu, throws, locks, ground game etc.

I think some of the other Gracie's are up there. Isn't Carlson Gracie Sr. over 60?

Duke Moore, the founder of Zen Budokai Aiki-Jujitsu was an active instructor well into his late 80's. He passed away earlier this year in his early 90's.

My BJJ instructor was in Brazil this summer and says he still gets right down and demonstrates and that he's tough! In fact I asked a question in class a few weeks ago and he answered "Someone asked that while I was in Brazil, and Helio Gracie said..." Talk about getting it from the source!
