I guess the two questions that come to mind after I read this are
1. How can I OW objectively OW tell oww the difference ow where being seriously jarred (ow) ends and being significantly injured begins?
2. As a person ages, is it possible to train in this way without ending up seriously banged up with long-term ramifications? Or is this more of a "don't use a skateboard" type of thing with no leeway?

Again, you need a partner who is sufficiently knowledgeable and skilled to help you without hurting you. Grappling arts that emphasize groundfighting give you more practical experience of fighting usefully with lower risk of injury. Because you more often start out on the ground, you're much less likely to be injured in a fall. Because you strike less, you're less likely to injure yourself either by striking something or by being struck. If you want to get past the non-useful reactions to being struck, though, then you probably also want to do some striking artor sport with contact--boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, et. al. Just be sure to use safety equipment and work with someone who has both skill and empathy.
