What would be the benefit of a "over 40 group"?
I didn' t notice any changes in my practice when turning 40 or 45.
Hi Carsten
There are numerous benefits of an over 40s class.1.Older guys could begin training [beginners]2.Pace of training intensity does not have to a priority.3.The older guy /lady would not have to contend with some young buck who thinks he /she is King Kong.4. Keeps the older people fit .
4.Good way to meet /extend friendships[not a dating agency however ].Lots of mature people are in need of company.Why not meet at Aikido?5 Most mature people are pretty well stable , usually have life experiences and can bring a lot to the table in terms of areas such as advisory /business capacity[Club Treasurers/Secretaries etc.

One last point EVERYBODY IS GETTING OLDER BY THE MINUTE!!Merry XMAS . CHEERS, JOE.
