I am 41. I started training at age 13 in Kyokushinkai (a lot of which I liked very much). I stayed with that until age 17 when I began studying JKD. Later on would come boxing, wrestling and everything else.
I haven't trained consistently of course over the length of time (13 to 41). Occassionally things would get in the way. Things like education, marriage, children, jobs, etc. But I always managed to get some training in.
At last count, I've been training very consistently for the past 11 years (Brazilian jiu-jitsu/submision wrestling, boxing, savate, muay Thai and some things that some folks might call combatives. Personally I think it's ALL combatives.)
Now I've suffered a shoulder separation that will put an indefinite hold on any further training. It sucks not being able to get on the mats folks. Always train safe and smart.

Wow...compared to some of these people I feel extremely inexperienced...but okay, I'll answer the question. I am 17...and I began taking Judokai Kan Ju Jutsu about 5 and 1/2 years ago...and then I was forced to quit at blue stripe because my shoulder couldn't take the takedowns and extremely rough sparring and grappling, so I joined TKD and I ahve been doiing that along with a little BJJ on the side for 2 years. It's great

16 here. Sheesh. Never thought about that before. 16 years and I still feel as if I knew nothing.

Started back in 1963 when I was 18. Now I'm 61 1/2 and still training and teaching. Time flies when you are having fun.

I've yet to meet a good martial artist who doesn't think they've got the whole world of MA ahead of them yet.
