Hi!

I just lately got interested in learning Kung Fu after i found my older brothers old collection of Bruce Lee movies.

Im 15 soon 16, is it too late for me to start practicing Kung Fu??? :confused:

I ve also heard that u can train the style that you were "born" in ect. Im an ox, Brice Lee were born in the dragon.

Im also from Norway...do any of u guys know any Kung Fu schools there :confused:

I hope u can answer some of my questions!!!! :)

I started at 28. 15 is a GREAT age to start.

I don't know about that. I don't think there is a type of kung fu for each year you were born in.

15 going to be 16? nah, you're not too old to study kung fu. study the style the year you were born in? i dont study c0ck style or rooster style. but anyways, find a school that interests you and go for it.

You're at a great age to learn. You can do anything you want if you focus your mind and put in the time.

I was also just in your country like two weeks ago .... beautiful flying in on the south coast with all those rolling mountains.

We can't really pick a style for you. What all is in your area? survey any school in your area that you may be interested in - non-chinese schools also. If all the kung fu schools suck, but there is a good karate school, then you would be better off there.

make a list of all the things you hope to get out of martial arts training. Then, find the school you feel can best help you achieve those goals.

remember one thing also, certain styles are more favorable towards certain body types. it is important to find a good school that you feel comfortable in; so if something feels uncomfortable or hard to do, do your best. now that you have started to gain interest, i hope that it continues to grow. good luck

Agreed that it is a good age to start.

Usually we start from some long boxing styles.

I am biased toward Northern styles.

Tang Tui is a good way to start.

Shuai Jiao is also a good way to start.

7* is correct. Whatever is available to you, you may start.

Krotty, TKD, JJJ or BJJ etc.

Best of luck.
