[agresionpower]

Looks like it'll be sunny and warm today, though not horribly warm since it rain quite a lot yesterday

the comming days we'll have 30+ over here...

you're never too old for martial arts, though you should be aware your bod does not adept to flexibility and heal injuries as fast as the younger crowd

Doesn't matter. I'd just be doing it for fun, not going to try and go pro or anything.

my new colleague does brasilian jiu jitsu, and some form of kung-fu.
I'm interested in stuff like that, though I'm so out of shape that I probably will never start doing stuff like that

I am just not ready to put the training down that will be necessary.

I like beer and spare time too much

Between 16 and 18 though, I had no problems spending 2 nights a week + half of Saturday going to the dojo

It'll get up to 34 today apparently. But that's not really out of the ordinary.

still, if you're in a beginners class with a bunch of 10 yo to young teens, their progress will most likely be a lot faster than yours, you need to be prepared for taht mentally as well.

It's just an age thing, not too much to do about it


Was the best training I've ever done though, both physically and mentally, I cn recommend it if you're willing to put up with the tiem and loss of spare time that's needed.

I guess there are more options than that though. Like a class once a week for people with jobs and responsibilities.

Ah well, we'll see. I actually got a card for a free lesson... found it on my car coming out of watching Karate Kid.

I think it'd be more awkward to be in a class of 10yr olds. Maybe they have classes specifically for old farts.

Sounds cool. :]

my colleague is talking a lot of bullshit -.-
please can he go back to vacation

yeah, if they have something like open nights for beginners, then perhaps you can maange "only" 1 night per week.

It's good to stay away from drinking and smoking, then learn how to eat healthily, to get the most out of taht sort of training.

Well I'm good for the not drinking or smoking part. Go me.

I was 16 yo and 195 cm, but sometimes got my ass kicked by the 12 yo who was about 160 cm, just since he was a brown belt and I was a yellow belt

Physical strength and reach is just not everything, even though it helps

I used to be fairly flexible, but the older I get and the less I work out, the stiffer I get, it's the life I chose, so there

My arms are kinda flexible... at least I can scratch my own back wherever it itches. Most important thing I guess.
