Tiger1962 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I was curious about the approximate age of the martial artists here on this site. Actually wondering how many of us over 40s are still out there training...just curious. If it's too personal, don't respond. Thanks!

aefibird Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I still sneak into the 22-29 category...for another 4 months! lolI was an adult when I started training (19 - oh my gosh, have I really been doing martial arts for 10 years? Doesn't seem that long!) and it has been one of my main 'regrets' that I wasn't allowed to train as a child as my first club had more kids than adults and I've always felt a bit since then that I've forever been playing 'catchup', especially in terms of flexibility and the like. :-/ "Was it really worth it?

The BB of C Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 So far I'm the only one that voted 17-21. I'm eighteen years old. I hope that section gets more hits. I'd hate to be the youngest one here

tallgeese Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 35, so I kicked that segment off. In march I'll hit 36 and mark my 20th year in training. So I've been in those other divisions , just not anymore http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
Shotokan-kez Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 31 soon to be 32...feeling it a bit now though! Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
tallgeese Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 It's the recovery time I've noticed the most so far. Still pretty stong and fast, but man I hurt the next day. Not so much hard sparring these days either, fewer session and further between. It derfinalty takes more ibuprophen to keep me running for sure.I've found I have to be smarter with my training in the post-30 era. I'll probibly have to make adjustments as I go on as well, not just to my training, but to the game plan as well. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
