Are You Too Old To Study The Martial Arts?

Are you too old to study the martial arts?

What is the best age to begin studying the martial arts?

What age are you right now- that is the best age.

Ready to begin your martial arts journey, start now, where you are. Martial arts is about moving and using the body in a specific way, it is in no way based on age.

Any age is perfect for the martial arts.

The first step is to take stock where you are physically and work on improving your general health and fitness, which is important even outside of the martial arts.

From there, meeting with a coach or martial arts teacher and begin laying out a training program that can leverage your strengths and eliminate your weaknesses.

The most important thing is to start your martial arts journey now, where you are right now, otherwise another year will go by with no progress to show for it.

The aim of the Bujinkan Shinmyoken Dojo (school of the life giving sword) is to understand nature and the movement of being zero through taijutsu- martial ways of using the body. The school exists to create and transmit this feeling and method through the experience of isshi soden.

Located in Westchester New York, the Bujinkan Shinmyoken Dojo is a martial arts training group founded in 2005 with the aim of coming together as martial arts friends to study the Japanese martial arts of Masaaki Hatsumi through the movement lessons of the Bujinkan Dojo.

Training is supervised by Fred Feddeck who has been studying Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu since 1993.

Classes are held on Saturday Mornings from 9-11 AM at a local park in Yonkers New York easily accessible by car, train, and bus. Additional training times are held for workshops and seminars each quarter.

Questions, feedback, and inquiries may be directed to the group here: bujinkanshinmyoken@gmail.com.
