NY_Karatedork Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Welcome to the forum! I have ninja monkies in my brain and they are using it as a trampaline.
doug_kissaki Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Karatejock, it's been over a month since your initial post. I hope you decided to go back.I know where you are coming from here. I have had several "layoffs" over the years. At one point, I was out of training for 5 years. Going back to training was one of the best decisions I ever made.Don't fool yourself.. you're never too old to train (in any style) Doughttps://www.kissakikai.com
Underlink Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 not on the same scale but when i was yonger i had to leave karate for 2 years when i started uni, i went back and never looked back i am now a fully qualified instructor and i teach karate i train aikido and teach self defence.if you think your too old to go back think of it this way the longer you wait the older you will get, age is in your mind your as young as you feel https://www.anzenkarate.co.uk

swadoryu2000 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Hey, karatejock! You are definately NOT TOO OLD to come back to karate-do! The dojo that I go to has a lot of ''aged'' senpai's and students. When I mean ''aged'', I mean 30's, 40's, and a few 50's. And the reason I put it in quotation marks is because I believe those ages are still young. It's never too late to enjoy an art form such as karate-do! Hope you get back into it! All thoughts have consequences.
