am i to old to start out in TKD


Recommended Posts

I started (Soo Bahk Do) karate at 22. I think like most people said on here that because you are older and a little wiser you can grasp the concepts a lil better and maybe progress a little quicker as well (not that thats important).

I'm from a Tae Kwon Do class offered at a university. Almost every student there is over 20, and none are under 18!

Getting a blackbelt just says you have learned the basics and are ready to actually study the form as an art.

i am 15 and i just started TKD am i to old? in my class i am the oldest one there and i feel kinda akward.

I just joinded this forum and found this. You are never to old to start. I started when I was 36. I am now 3 test away from my Black Belt. This only took me 1.5 years.

February 24, 2007 I received my Black Belt in WTF TKD.

don't think there is a wrong 'age' to start, although there are definitely wrong mentalities.:D

LOL Definitely!!

15 thats stil quite young really

Think about it when ur 25 youll have been gonig for 10 years :D any youll still be young

I started at 14 [literally just before my 15th birthday] and now im 19 [almost 20] so ive been going 5 years... so no in my opinion its a good age as you can grasp the concepts quicker than children and you can train a little harder than them because youre a bit older...

Age is just a number.

Jhoon Rhee is 74 years old, and can do 100 pushups in less than 60 seconds.

I just started taking TKD, and I'm 23.

I don't have to be the best, just better than you!
