hey guys,

im 17 years old from florida, i want to learn MA and make it a hobby for me , these days i really need something to get me busy and take me away from stress. I want to have a very good experience in MA, im not sure with the style but i really liked the Muay thai which the style they used in a movie of kickboxer, it is kind of slow for me though, i like faster defending and attacking style that bruce lee used . There are alot of experts in here that i would like to be like them some day, but exactly how many years will it take me to become a experienced MA and have more confidince in my self, is it too late for me to even bother or am in a good age to start from scratch , im asking this because my 8 year old cousin is already a yellow belt so it makes me feel emberassed :)

thanks for suggestions :karate:

Hi Mr young 17 old! Just think that at 37 years of age, you will have 20 years of martial arts experience. :D

Welcome to the forums, KingPO :)

...is it too late for me to even bother...

...And no; not even close. If you're only 17, you're already younger than I was when I started - at 18, a year ago. And I'm pretty sure there are others around here who started later than either of us. :P You're never too old to start learning..

Hi and welcome to KF. I started martial arts in my thirties. Trust me it is NOT to late to start. The trick is to just start.
