start young

[Crouchtig]

its best to start a martial art when your young because then you learn faster and remember it for longer.

eg. i did judo for 1 and a half years strarting from when i was about 8.

i am now 16. i never practice judo, i cant remember any of the move names but...... even though im tall and thin people find it hard to throw me

because i learnt at an early age it has stayed with me

my grappling skills have been permanently improved

conclusion: start when your young and you'll never forget!

Thanks for that. I found it very useful.

Does anyone have a time machine for sale?

hehe, it's true though. Learning physical movement whilst your neuro-musclar system is still developing goes a long way to ensuring it'll always 'be there'.

Hey, Crouchtig, weren't you the one who just told Tim that his idea to teach a children's martial arts class was moronic and that he was a 'insignificant pestulant and ridiculously pousillanimous dimwit with a ludicrously undersized intellect?' I believe it was. What do you call yourself as an eight year old practicing Judo? A child perhaps? You're finished on the forums I moderate. Thread closed. If you have a problem, take it up with the Admins--I have the feeling they won't be too receptive.
