I can recall Sugano Sensei making the remark not to take highfalls after 40 but it was said half in jest and half in practicality. So I take it as highfalls as necessity dictates.
Huh, I didn't know about that - just did some high ukemis 2 days ago (I had to, the sensei was throwing me around for a demonstration). I'm 48. I survived, but am as sore as always. It's not that bad... although the mats in our dojo are made of titanium, I believe.
