The Ultimate in Martial Arts

monique1 · 11-03-2002, 03:52 PM

I'm going to be 17 years old and I was wondering is it too late for me to begin and be a success in martial arts? I don't know much about it but I want to learn. I hope you can help.

It's never too late to start. I mean, some adults who are at least 40 go into martial arts.

What's your reason to learn martial arts? Fitness or self-defense?

MrPoopy · 11-03-2002, 06:05 PM

What exactly do you mean by "success"? I agree with blade_cs. It's never too late to start. But that might depend on your reasons for starting. My bjj instructor didn't start bjj until he was like 29 or so. He's 41 now. I didn't start until I was 22.

I want to learn self defense and I've always wanted to learn martial arts but I was running track but I can't run anymore so I want to start the one thing I've always wanted to attempt. When I say I wan't to be a success, I mean I want to be really good at it. Thanks for answering and I appreciate the help.

Why do you want to train? Would you plan on competing in the future, or just want to learn an "art form," or learn how to fight 1 on 1? With weapons or without? Need to be more specific.

monique1 · 11-04-2002, 01:36 PM

I want to train because I'm really competed so mostly for competition and I want to learn how to fight if I was in a situation when I have to. I would like to learn with and without weapons. Call me crazy but I want to be the best in martial arts. There's mostly little childern where I want to be trained at so I might have to be a personal trainer but does it cost alot of $.

MrPoopy · 11-04-2002, 06:46 PM

Monique, what kind of martial arts school are you planning on training at?

Meh...TKD? Why did you choose that? If I was you I'd take Muay Thai...that's what I'm about to do...

that or BJJ

monique1 · 11-04-2002, 10:19 PM

This is all new to me so I'm experimenting with everything.

I can't believe the change I'll be going through a runner to a fighter. WOW! I wonder what my track coach will say when I tell him I'm not running anymore.

If you want learn to fight, a rule of thumb is to avoid any Karate, Tae Kwon Do, or Kung-Fu. I recommend Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, or Shootfighting.
