How old can you be to start a new martial art?

There is no age limit on starting something new. If you can move, you can train. However there are a few things to consider if you are starting martial arts at a later age.

Will the training injury you?

When searching for a school determine if it is the type of training that you can do. Competition sparring can lead to a lot of training related injuries that can be long term. Avoid these sessions if you can so that it does not impede your training. Ving Tsun kung fu has a system that builds you up as you train and increases the intensity as you go. The rate of injuries is very low. This is a safer way to train, even at younger ages. No matter how good you are, if you are injured fighting will be harder.
