My first instructor was 61 when she started. I feel like calling 23 "late" is a bit funny :P. Karate is definitely a life long thing and since you are old enough to appreciate what you are being taught (compared to someone who started when they were 8 or 9), you are going to absorb it much faster.

Has anyone started martial arts late? I'm 23

Found a great site for reproductions of old bare-knuckle boxing posters online. The posters look great and appear to be reasonably priced.  Check them out! http://bareknucklesfightingposters.com/

Eric,

I orginal returned to training for health reason, overweight, smoker and a new desk job all contributing factors. And training at first was difficult but rewarding. I have lost weight stopped smoking, you may have an idea about teaching. The head instructor is really great with the kids, but adults so so. That's the area I might like being able to give back to someone in my position.

Greetings all,

I am 48 y/o male and have been a student of Kenpo karate for 8 years now. i currently hold rank of brown belt for about a year. I came back to martial arts after many years, student of IsshunRyu as a teenager. My question or concern is I have been come somewhat less than enthusiastic towards my training lately. I don't know if i am burned out after 8 years or it i am losing interest because to test for black belt rank a brown belt must retest at each rank. i enjoyed the lower ranks because it was all new and i was pushed during class. Now it is up to me and I have a hard time staying motivated w/o being pushed. Any suggestions to get me out of the training doldrums and excited to get back into the dojo and train harder.

Howdy all - just rejoined AoM and definitely wanted to get back into the martial arts group. I've practiced a few forms on and off for about 6 years, but only just settled down and started going consistently again. Happy to be here.

Hi RJ, I'm in east Tennessee. The wife and I went to San Diego once, and really liked it. I think she would move.
