don't worry about what kind of shape your in to start! That's what the first few belts are for...... working on flexability and getting into shape. Once you get into it you will love it  |

The only person holding you back is yourself. Did I say that already? Anyway, limits are usually given to people from the inside. You can do whatever you want, you just have to go out and do it.

Yeah, a lot of people are afraid to go out and do stuff because they don't want to be seen as inferior to anyone or something. If i had thought that way a year ago then i'd still be a blob!

It is never too late to start karate again.I practiced karate when I was 14. After three years I left the practices. At the age of 26 I start to develope a condition that impulse me to go to the doctor. He told me that I need to practice a sport. I decided to start karte again. After six years of practice I became a black belt and now I'm Shotokan Karate Instructor. Do not let that anybody decide by yourself. Just do that your heart is telling you. One of the Dojo Kun or Karate Philosophy means is " Be effort" So keep on the track and take the better decission for you. Oss

You are not too old and not to out of shape. Just
start off easy then work yourself up to the rest. I was in terrible shape when I started and a lot older. Dont compare yourself to others just do the best you can do and improve over yourself.
Good Luck and have FUN!!!
