skullsplitter Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well after 7 years of watching my son take karate classes, I've decided to join his school. I start tomorrow. I'm almost 40 so I'm sure I'll be sore for a good while, but it will be a good sore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groinstrike Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Way to go, im sure it will be incredibly rewarding. Don't worry about being "too old" one of the most impressive martial artists i know started when he was 50, got his black belt when he was 55, is now 75 and scary as hell.

skullsplitter Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 After two classes, I’m sore but enjoying it. I’m way out of shape so sensei is easing me into things (dead men pay no fees haha). It will be a few weeks before I am doing the full blown class and a couple of months before she’ll let me fight.It seems that I did pick up on some things from watching my son’s classes for many years.I think what I am going to really enjoy is the camaraderie of working out with a group of people. I’ve been really impressed so far about how willing everyone is to help each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
