At what age should you stop competing in Jiu Jitsu ?

[Eric "Tiger Blood" Safier]

I'm 30 and about to finally start competing But I have the Benjamin Button syndrome and most people think I'm 24 and I actually feel more like 24 then 30. But what age do most people stop competing? It seems like it would be hard to stop or want to stop. Thoughts?

Probably when everything stops working.

As long as you can. Take Louis "old man" Ho's example and just keep on competing with the younger guys, because technique beats strength every time!

I'm not sure how old Saulo Ribero is but he's got to be in his 40's and just retired last year.

I just turned 40 and I roll and compete with guys from age 18 and up.

Damn bro, I thought you were younger too. I'm headed towards 36 and you got to see my massive amount of injuries saturday.The thing is, everyday I wake up wanting to compete. I guess the want never stops. I'd say as long as you can as well.

That's awesome!!!! I personally think age is just a number. But damage to the body is a whole different story.
