I want some opinions. How old is too old to start martial arts? Do you have to be a teenager or even younger?
My wife started at 30 and my kids all started at 5. I started as a boxer at 8. I've seen plenty of 30 somethings starting up with no problems.

Thanks! I just don't want to look silly! I am sure I can handle it as I am in good shape so not too worried. I just wonder how good I can really get at my age? Not sure if it's possible. I am not old, but not a youngin either. I have a friend wanting me to join with her and am on the fence about it. We get a free month so I guess I could try it out and see if I like it.
Go for it... I did not even notice that you were a woman. The training will give you good flexibility, conditioning, and basic self defense. Not to mention that it's fun!
PM me if you have any questions and I'll forward them to my wife.

I've seen pics of an 80 year old Brazilian Jiu-jitsu blue belt. He probably started at the tender age of 78. I used to grapple with a guy who started Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at 49. It didn't seem to hinder his advancement as we got our blue belts in roughly the same amount of time.

Thanks guys!! I may give it a shot. I figure if nothing else I may not be the "best" with all the young kids and my daughters kicking my ass, but at least I will learn to take care of myself if I ever get in bad situations in the city.
