martialartist1 Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 starting in the teens is a comfortable period to start training in martial arts. the best time is to start when you a kid like 5 + years old. one advantage of starting in teens is that one'e human body would have developed more, therefore developed more for martial arts training, wheras when your a kid there more chance of accidents and injuries to the human body because its more vulnerable and still developing. one advantage of starting as a kid is better flexibility and suppleness. another advantage of starting in teen is you are more organised and know your availability to train and know more of why your are training in martial arts and the purpose of it, whereas when your a kid they do not know much about why they are doing it and will they wana continuing doing it and what it will make of them in the future. there are loads more other advantages and disadvantages, but i aint gona explain everything you know.
