When is is too late to start karate?

Answer 1

KarateIt's NEVER too late to try anything!!!! Go for it!!

No! A good karate school can teach any age level. I have a student that started a couple months ago that is 62 and is doing well. Just remember that your body is ot the same as a 20 year old and will take a bit longer to adjust and build muscle and flexibility.

And the hardest part of karate is gettng in the car.

It's never too late to start, but it should be stated that karate is a high impact and contact sport. It's especially high impact on knees, hips, and ankles, so if you have recurring problems with lower body joints, it will be very hard to do. Make sure you're up to it before signing a contact.

Answer 2

Yes, anyone can begin learning Taekwondo regardless of age or current physical condition. Check with your doctor before begining any exercise program. Shop around for a school with instructors that you like. Many schools will allow you to attned a few classes for free before you committ to tuition. Taekwondo classes are segregated by belt rank. You will begin as a white belt, and you will know just as much as everybody else. As your skills increase, you will move up in rank. As you continually attend classes your physical condition will improve. Your age may be a disadvantage in sparring tournaments. Sparring is VERY physically demanding. But you should expect to perform well in forms competitions, breaking competitions or demonstation team competitions.

Answer 3

Of course not! You can start the journey at any age.
