Is it possible for a person who is mid aged 50 yrs old to start to train in chinese martial Arts and become good and be able to defend myself as well as learn a complete MA system , I have alot of relatives of mine who say thats only for kids and young adults, that If I wanted to do that I should have done that years ago that Id just be wasting my time, instructors time and my fellow studens time?
Ive heard of stories that some legends claim that some of the martial artists of the past were mid aged, outa shape, even fat and unflexible, when they started their training and then later on in life they became master of that particular style?
So my question is being mid aged and never taken a authentic MA class, Ive worked out with daily walking routine and 2x per week on my bowflex.
