doug_kissaki Posted September 8, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underlink Posted September 17, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swadoryu2000 Posted October 29, 2008 Share 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!
