aefibird Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Hi Wu, I certainly wouldn't say that you're too old to learn ANY martial art! Martial arts are for all, and there's an art out there that will suit you, I'm sure. However, it is the instructor that is important, so try and find a good one! I'd suggest that you go along and watch a few Aikido or Ju-Jitsu or Judo classes, maybe even try a lesson or two in each before making your mind up. Good luck! "Was it really worth it?

ramymensa Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Aren't there open competitions? I'm also "too old" to fit in the usual category, but all our touneys have an OPEN section. There we, oldies, fit without any problem. And I too doubt you won't be allowed to train cause you don't compete. Talk to the instructor. If he is really hard headed, find another judo class, he's not the only one. World Shotokan Karate
