am i to old to start out in TKD

[d16turbohonda]

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 14 (15 in a month woo) and I just started TKD not long ago.

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

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.

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

LOL Definitely!!

15 thats stil quite young really

Think about it when ur 25 youll have been gonig for 10 years 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...

I started when I was 15, I'm 16 now...I am definatly commited to it, I quite cheerleading for Martial Arts..haha! I know a 62 year old that just tested for her black belt, she started when she was 60 I believe...ur not too old!

[merkury]

No way, that is a great age to start. I was 18 when I began, so you already have 3 years on me

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.

NOBODY IS TOO OLD TO STUDY MARTIAL ARTS.

there was a lady at my old school that got her black belt at 80 something.

wouldn't have guessed her a day over 45.
