The objective of this article is to analyze the narratives of women who practice judo in the category over 30 years of age, known as veterans or masters, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Furthermore, we sought to understand how these veterans joined and migrated between classes, what their resistance and confrontations were in remaining in veteran judo. Giving these women a voice, a voice and visibility allows us to encourage more women to return to sports, whether from a leisure perspective or as a way of occupying spaces that insist on presenting obstacles and resistance to their permanence. Through the narrative of five female veteran judokas, we found that: family support was preponderant for adherence and permanence; age is not a limiting factor for joining at a competitive level; and sensei have a fundamental role in rescuing women who are moving away from judo.
