Goju1 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 on top of being super tough he's down to earth and really cool which is hard to say about most people who are 60... Heyyy - Watch out now...
ShirKhan Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I'm 41, glad to see a few people in my age bracket!
hajime Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I don't train any more cos of injury. However I would if I could and I'm 35. one of my instructors didn't start learning karate until he was 40. You are never too old unless you have some injury/health problem. never surrender 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu
gheinisch Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I'm 38 yrs. old didn't start until I was 34. I'm one of the seniors in our class but can still hold my own pretty good! Sometimes the day after a good hard workout I'm reminded that I'm not a spring chicken anymore! Still love it and plan on going as long as I can!

Shorinryu Sensei Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Wow..and I thought I was the old duffer in the room! lol I'm 50 (51 next month) and have 2 students that are the same age. The oldest student I've personally had was 63 and he did just fine for the couple of months that he was in class. I don't expect everybody to be able to do the same as everybody else in class. instruction is very individualized and progression is at their own rate. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
ZR440 Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Is that Ben Gay or Icy Hot that I smell in this thread? It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Shorinryu Sensei Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Tiger Balm actually..but hey, it could be worse! It could be Preperation H! My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
ZR440 Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 I just had a terrible vision. Thanks. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Shorinryu Sensei Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Well..I COULD have said I smelled Preperation H as soon as you walked in the room...but I restrained myself with a secret Okinawan technique that I know ) My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
ZR440 Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Well, I just got done eating some Taco Bell. Hey, we're getting a little off topic here. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
