Hello,
For those BJJ practitioners, would you consider BJJ a low impact art as oppossed to Judo (which to me seems to take a toll on you body as you age). I am now 50 and would like to begin training in a grappling system. I have a little experience with Judo (I took some lessons when I was young), but have back and ankle problems which prevent me from taking it again. From what I have seen, BJJ might be something I can practice as it seems to be lower impact than Judo. I would appreciate any comments, especially those students around my age.
Thanx, Revfidel
