How intimidated were you when you started?

[Eldritch Knight]

I started off when I was 10, and the new "Karate" place just opened up. The instructors were friendly and there were a few 13-year old BBs, so I didn't really feel out of place. On hindsight, I realize that it was a huge McDojo (they were actually teaching some bastardized version of TKD), but on the plus side it gave me a confident first impression of MA.

Well about anything for a start is better than not starting at all.
