well i%26#039;m already 15 and i really regret not taking this earlier. i really want to learn it. i want to feel power and less vulnerability. Does anyone think that%26#039;s too late?
i have a hard decision to make, since i have other commitments to stick to, since junior year is coming up and extra curricular activities.|||it%26#039;s not too late, but if you take it, make sure you have room in your schedule for 3 hours per week. you usually go monday, wednesday friday an hour each, or tuesday thursday. or you can do 6 hour sessions on saturday.|||nothing is late in life dear so you have to start it as soon as possible.this Will enable you to have a health full body and this Will serve as a self defense for you.but before you start to practice this you should consult a doctor just for much precaution|||Its not to late but it will be harder to learn since your mind is used to doing things its way|||No, you will just become good when your a little older instead of already having your blackbelt. You don%26#039;t have to do it for 30 years to be able to defend yourself. Just try it...you will like it|||%26quot;...since i have other commitments to stick to, since junior year is coming up and extra curricular activities.%26quot;
sounds like you don%26#039;t really want to take it anyway, but it%26#039;s not too late|||no way just started 5 weeks ago and i broke a board 2 days ago. plus you learn a lot faster. also if you want anything in life you go for it|||yeah that%26#039;s really cool I%26#039;m too lazy though|||No, 15 is not too late to start taking TKD. I started training in TKD when I was 17.|||No its never to late even if your 50....many people don%26#039;t start untill their n their 20%26#039;s or 30%26#039;s and become quite good.
By the way 15 a great age to learn any thing new.|||NO!!!
its never to late to start taekwon-do!
we have yellow belts that are 20 that strted just a few months ago.
but as you grow older it will become harder on your knees and joints
thats why you should start now
insted of latter
but all together TKD is fun
but you better like doing pushups
because if you mess up on a pattern
thats only 10 pushups
but here is the belt system:
low white/ high white
low yellow/high yellow
low green/ high Green
low blue/ high blue
low red/ high red
then black belt!|||i think so|||It%26#039;s never too late in life to do anything...unless your old. Do everything you can if you have the opportunity! But SAY NO TO DRUGS! They will stop your motivation.|||because you have all that other stuff i would try a simple self defense class first and if you want to get into it more then go for the taekwondo, and if you do it can%26#039;t be too late, i%26#039;m sure there are alot of late starters that are amazing at it|||It is never too late to start something. The only disadvantage is that, if you had taken taekwondo about 8 or 9 years ago, it would have been much easier, because children learn and adapt to things better.|||Are you joking? It%26#039;s not too late..if you want to learn tae don%26#039;t waste another time...and above all practice everyday..Good luck..a martial artist!|||NOOO!!!! now were near to late, i started when i was 15 (2 years ago) and found it great, it can be a bit of a trick fitting it in around all your other activities though, but take it, see what you think and have fun.
if you find a good school it should not only be great for helping you feel less vulnerably but also your balance, co-ordination, strength, overall fitness and just be some weekly excercies!
Good luck and enjoy it!|||Better late than never. (Grandma Moses)
Good excercise!|||actually no, it%26#039;s never too late. i know some people who just started recently, at 65. and they have a blast with it. if you really want to do it, go for it!
and someone says that taekwondo sucks, well actually it doesn%26#039;t! the people who say that have never really seen what taekwondo can do, and are only looking at the olympics and XMA and then saying it has no value. well, they couldn%26#039;t be more wrong. when learned from a good teacher, Tae Kwon Do is a great martial art. it has a lot of application to real life; in korea%26#039;s military it%26#039;s mandatory! why, if it%26#039;s so useless, would they use it and not something else?
it is true, though, that many tae kwon do schools have shady business tactics. although taekwondo is not the only art to have this; indeed, you can find them in EVERY art. the main reason people say that taekwondo has all the mcdojos is because it is the most popular martial art in the united states. so of course there are more mcdojos in the US then any other art; there are more legitimate schools as well! and i%26#039;m willing to bet that more than half (probably even more than 70%) are legitimate.|||Of course it%26#039;s not too late. You can learn Tae Kwon Do at any age if you apply yourself. Actually 15 would be a good age to start, as your body is more mature than it would be at a younger, age. You are still growing also, which will aide you with faster recovery times between lessons. I hope this helps.|||No i don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s too late. As long as you have the will to learn it, no age is too old. Martial arts is about mental not physical unless you%26#039;re talking about weight lifting.
However as what you have mentioned, you will be having other stuffs coming up in your life. Therefore, it would be quite hard for you to progress much in the practice of taekwondo. You do have to put in extra effort in practicing and especially on the part of stretching. That is the part people fail to improve on . All the best|||NO! Me and my dad went to taekwondo and im 12 and he is 40 and were blue belts|||Well, considering the huge population of aggressive horse-riding mongols needs to be kept in line, you should!
Haha, seriously tho, it%26#039;s never really that late, nows maybe a better time then sooner cause
it really doesn%26#039;t matter if you trained form age 0-15, unless you%26#039;re intellectually mature enough to know whats going on, you won%26#039;t have learned anything.
Most kids who%26#039;ve been doing it a long time are horrible at it, at least now you won%26#039;t be cocky or over-confident.
Side note: Don%26#039;t expect to %26quot;feel power and less [vulnerable]%26quot; You won%26#039;t legitimately have the right to say that until you%26#039;ve been training a long, long, long time. And by then you%26#039;ll have the right attitude and not care about such foolish aspirations.|||You should never learn taekwondo, it sucks. Go into Karate instead.|||I Don%26#039;t Think So. I Know People That Are Taking Marshal Arts And They%26#039;re About 80 Years Of Age. It Doesn%26#039;t Matter How Old You Are.|||It doesn%26#039;t matter how old you are. That%26#039;s why there are instructors. No matter what age you are, their job is to teach their students correctly so that they can obtain the skills they came for. So it is never too late. =) Just try to make some time. maybe an hour every other day or so. everyday is better but as long as you try to practice 3 times a week. good luck!
and as for jabocelt, what makes karate better than taekwondo? Does it matter? each martial art has it%26#039;s own unique way of fighting. I%26#039;ll believe that karate is better than taekwondo if you prove that it is a fact. I don%26#039;t want to see videos either because the videos on youtube that are against taekwondo are 1 in a trillion or more fights. Every single fight did not result in a taekwondo losing streak. Keep your comments to yourself.|||no!!!! my brother started at 16 and i started at your age|||no|||No.|||definitely not....it is never too late to start up something like that.....|||its never too late to try something new!
good luck!|||I started kickboxing when I was 22, I am know the North East champion and Scottish champion. So no it is never to late!
