new old(er) guy

Hi All,

I found this forum kind of by accident, and it seems refreshingly "adult" and active compared to others.

I'm in my mid-50's, first started in martial arts over 35 years ago. I haven't been very active in the last few years other than backyard solo training, though I keep fairly fit with other activities (cycling, some weight training, walking).

Over the years I've trained in everything from traditional karate to Tai Chi to MMA, had great instructors, and met and learned from some of the legends in martial arts.

These days so much of martial arts seems to be for little kids or young men who want to learn MMA. It's been hard to find a place to fit in!

I hope to get some ideas to re-spark and inspire my training in some form.
