    No, it's not too late BUT for example, Muay Thai fighters are in their prime in the 30's and they have fought for many years. Thais start fighting usually before age 10. You can definitely pick up Martial Arts but you'll always have the slight disadvantage

    it is never to late, im 36. took martial arts when i was 12 to 17. stopped for 18 years. started again a few years ago from scratch. who cares how old you are, does it make you happy? are you able to get better than you were yesterday? maybe you will not be a world champion but maybe you can be better than you were yesterday,

    No, I have had guys in their late 50's begin their martial arts training with me.
