What age did you start aikido?
-David |
I was 19... How about you?
|
I was 14, the age I am now.
|

Nick |
At 24. Again at 26 and then again at 30 (my present age)
(first MA-experience at 15 - Shotokan Karate) |
I was 26
|
I started at 25.
:cool: Dana |
I was 16.
Average (mean) age so far is 18.7 years (witha standard deviation of 5.35). I really must stop using aikiweb and do some work. Ian |
I was 23
|
At 21 years. I wish I had started younger.
Matt |
trust me, you always wish you started younger...
Nick |
I was 17 when I started.
|
7th grade I was 13 now am 16
|

Unfortunately, I was 30. I honestly believe I would have started at 20 if I had known that it even existed. When I did learn OF it, I was 25 and had too much on my plate already. I eventually got back to it. Better late than never, I guess.

I started at 16, but then I developed the bad habit of moving to places where there was no Aikido. Now I'm 31, and I'm happy to say that I have an excellent dojo near where I've settled permanently. Better later than never.

I started when I was 32, about a month after I quit smoking. I had gained a ton of weight, and had gotten very aggressive, and needed a way to vent some of that funky energy.
I'm 43 now, and the body, I swear, is in worse shape now than it was when I started, but I think I'm paying a special pennance for a dissolute youth, rather than suffering from any glorious Aikido injuries. I felt like the old guy when I started, and I aint feeling any younger. Unfortunately, most if not all of my sempai and my teacher are older than me, and most are in pretty good shape, so my excuses have to be other than age related. I wish I'd started Aikido at a younger age, or at least been better to my body when I was young. Wasn't it Mark Twain who said " If I'd known I was gonna live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself"? Or was that WC Fields? |
