Kanzashi Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 How about some truths as this is supposed to be a positive experience, and all this talk about diets is depressing. Myth: Older people can't learn new styles. Truth: Older people can learn new styles, just take longer to get it. Something about muscle memory. Myth: Older people can't win at sparring. Truth: No so, our cunning and guile will overcome any opponent. Myth: Older people can't keep up with younger trainees. Truth: Can so, see the first myth/truth. Myth: Older people just want to do katas. Truth: Suit up kid, I'll take you on and I don't have fear at my age! Sorry not to be scientific, but my sensei makes some slight gestures about age related functions. I'm not really old, just the oldest in the dojo, most are teenagers, that think they know everything.
