I was 20 when I stated Wing Chun, stoped training, then started TKD at 25, and JuJitsu at 27.

at about 21 - started Hapkido. Did a little Tai Chi before that, but had no MA emphasis to it, although I did enjoy it.

Picked MA up again, after missing it for several years, almost 2 years ago.

Hm...about 12, woulda started at 5 or 6 if I had my way, lol

 

[Mark Lynn]

Started in TKD at 19 1/2, now I'm 43. About two years after starting in the MA I was exposed to the filipino martial arts and after many years in TKD and other more tradtional MA, the FMA has become my main focus now. All of those high kicks led to to many chiropracter visits .

I started Taekwondo when I was 12. I still think this is the ideal age to start-not too young, nor too old. :>)

Take Care,
