Just turned 40 in August and been wanting to get into martial arts. I have trained BJJ for a little while, but just not getting much out of it personally. I struggled with a lot of things about whether I should even be starting martial arts at my age...is it just for kids? I've been visiting different martial arts schools sitting in and observing different classes. Finally went back tonight to watch an Adult TKD class at the local school and there were 13 adults in there from white belt to black belt. I pulled the trigger and signed up for an introductory month. I'm excited to get started (again). One of the problems I have within in myself is the slow promotions. It's any martial art. It's for the good of the arts, but for some reason I struggle with it. I am trying to keep an open mind and try to enjoy the process and not worry about the result. OSS

Well I have very little formal training, so would this not be any use for me? I am just stationed in a rural part of Alaska and having a hard time finding somewhere to train.

Is this training via Skype or just chatting?

I am pretty new to the martial arts scene (hence my first post on this forum) but have always been intrigued. Now at age 34 i decide better not wait too long! I found a gym that teaches Gracie Combatives, which is something I was really interested in and the number one art I was looking for. However, this particular dojo also offers Tang Soo Do from an accomplished Master. Is this style of Karate a repetable one? I had never heard of it prior to starting my training at this Dojo. I really want to learn Karate as well, but don't want to have to go to 2 different Dojo's to accomplish training in both arts. I appreciate any advice!
