I started BJJ at 42. No problems - well, apart from the fact it is a tough sport. You need to find yourself a compatible gym, instructor, classmates, etc.
I started BJJ a year ago when I was 45 and recently started training with 10p. I've had no problems whatsoever. Like Danny said, just listen to your body.
I am 40 now and started really focusing on 10P Jiu-Jitsu 5 years ago. I feel I am improving with age and not deteriorating. The 40 year old version of me could throw the 20 year old version of me around like a rag doll. I see myself continuing to train 5 years from now and beyond.
Train smart and you will be good to train for many more years. Enjoy the journey.
