italian_guy Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm 42 and I started MA just 9 months ago. I took a quite physical art (kickboxing) and sometimes I feel my I do not have enough stamina. But I think I will earn some by hard training. Anyhow when I spar with people of my experience level even if much younger and better fit I can still give them a lot of trouble You can be sure ....

CanuckMA Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 43. Started training again 1 year ago. It just takes longer to heal. Got hit shin-on-shin 8 weeks ago. The edema is still resolving. Darn 16 year old didn't even feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn 16 year old didn't even feel it. I have taken many shin hits. Lots of students old and young in our dojo wear shin pads. I don't but then again I don't bruise that easily and so far have not had anything with perminant damage there. I have had some issues with broken toes, bruised ribs etc though. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does not seem that long but lord knows I have the scars and shin dents to show for it.
