here's a story that MIGHT inspire you
When I was training as a blue belt in 2011 and I saw an old man in his late 60's. He went in, asked for our instructor for training, and then he trained with us. YES he trained, but our instructor never pushed him beyond his limit, fearing he might kill the old man. During our water break the old man asked me to teach him a proper basic kick so I did. I then had a chance to ask him why he wanted to train in his age. This was his answer:
"Nag training man ko diri sauna pag 1970, blue belt pud ko ato parihas nimo. Niundang ko kay wa na koy kwarta. Karon nga naa na bahalag tiguwang ako gihapon suwayon akong ganahan buhaton gyud mintras buhi pa. Ganahan gyud kog taekwondo."
He inspired me. Made me more passionate about martial arts. But sometimes I just don't like how our instructor focuses on the sport aspect of TKD so I tend to practice with my friends experimenting with different self defense techniques that are found in forms (known as poomsae). I am also open minded, practicing any available martial art as long as I have the time and funds.
so there you go. ayaw lang ka uwaw sa imong age ate. but if age does really matter to you, Muay Thai, Eskrima/Kali/Arnis, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo have more adult students than taekwondo hehe
Also, advise lang, don't do martial arts for self defense or fitness but rather to love the martial art you choose. Because of that, you will learn self defense and stay fit in the long run.
