One thing most of the people have in common is this nagging uncertainty.
“Am I too old to be doing this?!” Certainly Not when you look around at most Karate dojos of today and see these difficult punches and kicks, you get afraid. That’s not something a frail old adult should be doing is it? Sure, some crazy adults are doing it , but they to were also thinking like you,, but they took the leap and now are enjoying the benefits of karate. You are never to old to learn - Everyone goes at there own pace -- There is no competition
Perhaps all adults just have this competence fetish; they cling desperately to their dignity like a little boy to his security blanket; they want to be good at everything they do, and (they think) everyone expects them to be good at anything they do. It’s like adults are meant to be dignified and able; adults aren’t allowed to show ignorance or confusion.
We all walked that road - Me included ... But with a great instructor and helpful Black belts and friendly members ,you will accomplish things you never dreamed off... So set your worries aside and join a class and see why millions are doing karate around the world . |
