Age and when you began

[rabid hamster]

Hiya everyone,

 

what age did you begin learning martial arts, and how old are you now?

 

 

[tessone]

I began recently, and I'm 19.

 

The nice thing about martial arts is that you can begin at most any age. Certainly one can excel at a martial art and not begin at age 5 or 6, as is the case with musical instruments (always wanted to play the violin!), dance, etc.

... you're so right tessone

 

I began training in TKD at 33, that was 10 years ago.... (you can do the math!)

 

Unlike our male MA counterparts, we females have to discontinue training to have a family. Such was the case for me at 35 when I had my 3rd child but continued training shortly thereafter.
