hey guys, im 17 years old from florida, i want to learn MA and make it a hobby for me , these days i really need something to get me busy and take me away from stress. I want to have a very good experience in MA, im not sure with the style but i really liked the Muay thai which the style they used in a movie of kickboxer, it is kind of slow for me though, i like faster defending and attacking style that bruce lee used . There are alot of experts in here that i would like to be like them some day, but exactly how many years will it take me to become a experienced MA and have more confidince in my self, is it too late for me to even bother or am in a good age to start from scratch , im asking this because my 8 year old cousin is already a yellow belt so it makes me feel emberassed thanks for suggestions
