Ace2021 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'm 15 and I practice internal arts. I think it's sad how our age is based on the number of times the Earth has completed it's orbit around the sun after we're born, instead of based on maturity.

Kieran-Lilith Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm sixteen, but I don't think it really matters what age you begin to practice at. It is unusual for younger people to practice it and that does make us a bit different, but I think it would be easier in some aspects for an older person to practice. If you're examining something like good and evil, I think an adult would have more life experience to draw from to be able to understand to a greater depth. Even in just something as simple as meditating, adults have a longer attention span, and they are more apt to be consistent in their practice.

Scotty Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I started at 12 but I'm 16 now. I found I was one of few younger students also. The best armour is to keep out of range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marie curie Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think that this has to do with what arts parents think to suggest and that internal arts are marketed to older people. I did Tai Chi when I was in China for a few months and really enjoyed it... unfortunately I haven't found a group around here that I enjoy as much. Oh, and I'm old now- 24- but wasn't always!
