Too Old to Excel in Martial Arts?

  Hi,
  
  I'm in my late twenties and did not practice martial arts for the last five years. I only picked up Judo and then TKD in my late teens. However, I am still very interested and I plan to relearn Judo first to build up flexibility then moved on to Chinese martial arts like Nam Wah Pai Qigong or Shaolin Wushu.
  
  Can I still excel in martial arts even though I am way past the ideal age (pre-teens)?

  Why not? I picked it up 3 years ago. And I'm 29. There's this great place on North Canal Rd that has students from 17 till 50+. Contact Darrren at 91852887.

  Nope. As long as you are willing to learn, it won't be too hard. Just practise regularly.

  Not any that I know of.
  
  Community Centres and Clubs have Judo classes. You can start from there. Some RCs also have it. Ask your RC.

  Any views about Singapore Judo Club or Shun An School of Judo?
