What is Masters Division in BJJ?
Quick Definition
Age-based competition categories for older competitors.
Full Explanation
Masters divisions are age-based categories that allow older competitors to compete against peers of similar age. IBJJF has Master 1 (30+), Master 2 (36+), Master 3 (41+), Master 4 (46+), Master 5 (51+), and Master 6 (56+) divisions. Masters divisions recognize that athleticism changes with age while still allowing competitive opportunities. Many practitioners compete at the masters level well into their later years.
