I would pass... while an 18 year old could hypothetically have the know how and skill, such examples would be the exception rather than the rule. Even if they had the physical ability they still would not have the teaching expertise by that time.
Can you? Possibly. Would I recommend it? No |

Yes you can learn in that environment. Is it optimal? Probably not.
I'd rather be in a class full of people closer to my age and have the class run by someone with more experience. But it would also depend on how much I want to learn that art/style. If I really wanted to learn that art and it was the only place around, I'd give it a shot and try to keep an open mind. If it was a place on a list of places to visit, I'd most likely pass.
I always say pick a dojo, not a style. This is an example of why. It could be great for someone who fits into those demographics, and not for someone who doesn't. |
