Are you to old to do what makes you happy? If you answer no, then join MMA. But not to put a down poor on your parade, take the risks into the equation. If you do train MMA, your gym will have sparring. Sparring to much can and will lead to brain damage over time. Pretty much every professional fighter has brain damage and will be severely effected by it later in life. I'm not trying to scare you or tell you MMA is bad. I'm stuck with this decision too right now. I want to train MMA but my brother has been telling me not to because of these reasons. Usually sparring is non mandatory. Spar as little as possible. I don't know the stats but I would say once every two, three weeks? Your brain is your most important organ, you don't want to mess around with it.
No.
Where did you read or were told that everyone must start martial art at 4-6 years old? I bet you can't cite any sources. Never make a decision on anything until you get the facts FIRST. You should have asked this question BEFORE you answered your dad.
Heck no! Anyone can start at any age! I take martial arts started when I was 13 I'm almost 15 now and getting really close to black belt.the dojo I go to has kids from 5 to 15 and 15 to 85 years old.So age doesn't matter not one bit
Never too late! Some people start at 25+ Now is a great time for you to start.
I was older than that when I started, so no, you are not too old. Some martial arts schools do not take kids at all. You have to be 16 to go to my Aikijutsu school.
Want me to list a few people who didn't train until later in life bas rutten for one. Mikro cro cop,nate and nick Diaz,Anderson Silva. The best fedor trained in boxing and sambo from 6.
Dude nostrils is the damn thing if you practice any martial mind dont blow away the ashes of the past to see the future of martial mind nor martial land.
No. Many students begin as adults.
there were not late to learn my buddy
My dad asked me if I wanted to join martial arts (not saying what kind) and I wanted to but I thought I was too old because most kids start when they're 4-6 and I'm 14 so i told him no and he got mad! i thought about it some more if i should say yes but now I'm not so sure so it it too late if I join
