how old is too old?

[Scott Bolinger]

well, i'm 41 and been studying kickboxing for over 26 years, I still study different arts and attend other instructors seminars to expand my knowledge in every type of fighting. If you have a interest in a different style of fighitn, then just go for it.

i have had some people i know including my girl tell me that i'm too old to switch disciplines now and be able to compete. i have been training judo/ju jitsu since i was young but i'm only 24 years old. i think these people are crazy. i can understand my girl worrying about it because she just doesn't understand the reasons behind my love of martial arts. have any of you had people tell you you were too old for martial arts? im just curious what your take on this situation is.

Many people have learned more than one type of Martial Art,
and go on to be successful and even become teachers.

If people would be to old ( lets say 30 is to old for learning )
then no one over a certain age ( 30 ) could ever be competitive or increase at anything.

How much is your determination to learn and practice something else.

Would you say that you are to young to go on to something else.

Don't let other people run and ruin your life.

well i started training at the local MMA gym plus with work i haven't had a lot of time to post back up here. i talked to the trainer and worked out something that would work out with my shift work. i have been training mostly in the "dutch style" muay thai at that gym. i also got engaged and one of the things i told her when i asked her was that at some point when i can get away from work for a few months i want to go train in Thailand. so some time when i am not working like a dog i will be able to go over there. i was thinking about tiger in phuket because then she could come with me and we could go to the beaches and such but i wasn't sure what you all would suggest.
