I would love to learn then teach my 3 year old niece when she's older.

I feel like I'm too old to learn.

Learning will be much harder, especially reflexively. Will take you much longer and more practice than everyone else.

On that note, don't bother with defensive Martial arts like Karate they are useless.

If you have any near you Muay Thai Kick Boxing or Krav Maga is great.

Even boxing is a better choice.

As someone who did MMA for 8 years of their youth, trust me when I say Karate barely counts as self defense.

If it's literally your only choice. Then I guess it's better than nothing.

Oh and learning 2+ martial arts while doing Crossfit would definitely help compensate for your age.

I doubt you learn anything but how to get your ass kicked if you trained a hour a day.

But if you went all at it 8 hours a day, multiple training methods and muscle building.

I bet you get some real results regardless of being old and set in your ways.

its only bad if it has no full contact sparring. Lyoto machida and GSP incorporate karate into their fighting styles.

Don't do karate. Most schools are mcdojos. Find a place that does kickboxing or Muay Thai. Much more practical martial art than karate. Never too old to learn. I took my first fight 6 months before my 30th birthday. I was training until all this covid stuff started. 35 now and I'll start again once the gyms open up.

8 hours a day is way too excessive. I remember when I started working full time, went on daily long runs, and tried to find so social fulfillment I felt exhausted.

That being said, you can definitely get into martial at 30.

Im closer to 40. Did tkd and wrestled in high school. Im looking at 2 options. Muay thai ( no competition) just to get shredded since i hate lifting weights. Or bjj and compete. I know i wont be a world champion starting now but itd be fun to get on the mat again. Maybe do some small local tournaments. Was a good wrestler, not state champion material since i was too injury prone to make it far enough.

A dojo that hands out black belts to anyone. You want to find a place that will make you earn it.

Dojo with no real credibility, teaching bullshit that doesn't really work, or real shit, but in an incomplete and ineffective manner. They want to make money by making just about anyone a "master".

I just tried some roundhouse kicks for fun. Holy crap. Cant even get my legs barely off the ground anymore. Cant imagine going to muay thai and hitting a bag for an hour. Getting old sucks. Enjoy your youth while you can guys lol
