Can Someone Be Too Old To Practice Martial Arts?

It depends on the program, depends on the style of study. You know health issues are one concern when you choose a course. If you have brittle bone disease, I wouldn't do a joint locking style or a style where you get thrown or there is contact. I think certain styles like tai chi should be practiced all the way up as far as you can train. I think the martial arts that focus on the martial combative side; you probably wouldn't want to do if you haven't been to us your whole life. So try to stay clear of those in your later years, but I think that some of the arts like tai chi are very, very good. Chi cung is a breathing art form that teaches you about energy and cleansing the system. It's like taking the breathing exercises from yoga and focusing on those. I think chi cung is wonderful for elderly people.
