I know you can always join martial arts but if you’re planning on joining MMA how old is the oldest you should be if you want to start MMA, and you have know prior knowledge to any martial art. I was thinking maybe like 28 if you want to join the sport but please I would love to hear your answer.
BEST age is 12-15… a a hobby any age is ok but to join to fight people, not past 30
never to late to start- just as long as your physically able to
Before I answer your question, I would just like to point out a few things.
A martial art is not a sport. It does not have any rules, regulations, or limitations. A martial art is designed to be utilized for combat. Many people mistake martial arts as some kind of “art.” It is a science, or rather, an application of science.
If a martial art has no function within combat, then it is no longer a martial art. You might as well call it a kind of dance or demonstration.
On the other hand, if you are talking about a combat sport, then yes, there are rules, protective gear, and limitations.
Oh ya, I forgot, 28 is fine.
21
are you dead?….well maybe a couple of days before that…when is it too late to try something new that will benefit your life?
You can really start at any time. If you’re looking to compete professionally you’re better off starting young, otherwise there are plenty of events for different age, weight and skill brackets. Don’t worry about being the oldest guy there, even though I doubt very much that a 28 year old would be.
You planning to fight professionally? H. Walker is starting at 47. Yah that’s old, but he is the exception to the run. Simply the older you are when you start the shorter your career as a fighter.
It sounds to me you are in your teens. Get in shape now and start picking up skills.
You should not start before the age of 4. After that if you aren’t hooked up to life support and in a coma, any age is a good time to start.
Its never too late. Now is the time. Stop waiting! Go for it! Make your own rules in life.
Best age 12-18.
