April 30, 200719 yr Im planning on starting agressive freestyle hapkido at the age of 14 and i just wanted to know if you guys think i would be behind. And also include the age you joined hapkido.14 is a great age to start any martial art. You'll be fine. I started Tang Soo Do and Jujitsu at 13.There is really no "too late" but late childhood and early adolescence is a better time to start due to physical and neurological development.
April 30, 200719 yr I started Tae Kwon Do at 34. I just received my 1 Dan this year at 39. Anything is possible. February 24, 2007 I received my Black Belt in WTF TKD.
April 30, 200719 yr I agree. It is never too late. You will do fine. I first took up Hapkido at the age of 26, I think, or 27. Can you tell me what "freestyle" Hapkido is? I had not heard of it before. Edited April 30, 200719 yr by bushido_man96 https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
April 30, 200719 yr Yeh, I started taking hapkido seminars at 13- I thought that it was a good age too. You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu
May 1, 200719 yr Any age is great to start. I was 14 when I started TKD. I'm 39 now & still love it. There's a lady in my organization who is 78. She just tested for her 3rd Dan last yea! She runs her own school! Never too late. Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything. Kevin "Superkick" McClinton
May 15, 200719 yr It is NEVER too late to start, one of my friends in taekwondo started at age 46 is now 47 and took 3rd in nationals in his age range, he can keep up with me and i'm 21!
