I am 20 and although I have worked with kickboxing, freestyle kickboxing, karate and judo I didn't really find much interest in them, and only lasted long in kickboxing, the others had only been a few sessions. However, i'm hoping to join an eskrima club nearby tomorrow after work, and since my gf is from the philippines when we go visit her family I'm gonna head to cebu and try out at proper top notch gyms there. You're never to old to learn martial arts tbh. I have seen OAP's taking kickboxing, although they can't do advanced stuff they still do basics. Also Marcus from the last ultimate fighter(ufc programme) had never thrown a punch until a month or two before he started the show and he was in his late 30's

Hey Genjinuva, you should totally join a martial arts class. It is fun, or at least I think it is fun.
As for you Lusk, I wish you good luck with that.

I've been in Tae-Kwon-Do for a while now and I love it! When I lived in Germany I was ranked 3rd in Kata's for the European Championships. I use to compete in Kata's and Breaking. Sparring wasn't my best event. But it has been a while since my last tournament. All my friends are "tournament happy" but I'm more interested in the self-defense aspect of it.

I'm also 20 years old, but I have been out of practice with Karate for 4-5 years, even then that was only a few months. Although if I were to count the time I was practicing for years, you note it goes back to like nearly 10-11 years since I properly trained in karate.
I have been asked to go to a class recent though, my friend's sensei came with us to the hospital after my pal broke his leg in soccer, and he gave me a business card afterwards.

Genji, what goal do you have in mind buddy? I mean their are certain martial arts styles that are designed for competition versus others that have a more self defense orientation.

KARATE?! I would like to learn Karate, just for the sake of quoting Terry Tsurugi.
Or, you know, Muay Thai or Eskrima... Something like that.
Too bad I gots no money for classes... D:

That depends on the gym you go to Donut, when I started martial arts I paid for the first year but once I got my purple belt I was invited to assist in training the beginner students, in return I could continue learning free of charge. I worked my way up to a black belt in American Kenpo that way.

Yay! I start teaching young students with my master in a few months. It's going to be so much fun.

Ah! Where are some of our members? They are missing,or just haven't got on in a long time. Still, what's happening? The squad's members are just not getting on. I know I have mentioned this before, but I can't help but be concerned.
