Tatame 50+ (Men)
Tatame 50+ is a Jiu-Jitsu class in Boca Raton for men over 50 who want to stay active and learn a skill that rewards smart training over raw power. The pace is steady, the technique is practical, and the group is friendly and patient with newcomers.
Jiu-Jitsu is often described as a game of leverage and patience, which makes it a natural fit for experienced adults. In this class we choose techniques that are efficient and joint-friendly, with plenty of time to drill before any live practice.
Whether you are a complete beginner, a former athlete or returning after years away, you will find training partners at your level. Please check with your doctor if you have health concerns and tell your instructor about any injuries.
