I all my name is sean i have done martial arts for fifteen years` i have have just came back from a 15 year brake two months ago and love it even more now, my question is i am 49 years old and want to get back into full contact fighting do you think im getting to old

Mate, it is totally up to you if you want to get into full contact again. Maybe you're quite proficient, maybe you're just relearning your old black belt skills? I'm 43 and still absolutely newb after three months but for me it's not about how old I am, it's how proficient I am. Maybe in a couple of years if I am strong enough and skilled enough then I might consider full contact, but you have to ask yourself why you are doing martial arts - when you know the answer to that, you'll know the best way to go.

Good luck with it all.

Cheers.

You will have to listen to what your body tells you. It will give you the answers you seek! Take your time, and ease back into full contact, for sure.
