Hello There,
I've been active (in varying degrees due to military (Navy) service) in the Martial Arts for almost 13 years. I attempted to become a US Marine Corps officer, but was not selected. A brief summary on my Martial Arts experience:
- Tae Kwon Do (Age 11-14)
Long Absence from MA but was an active baseball player, track/cross country athlete till age 19
- Boxing as a 132 lbs./145 lbs. (Age 19-21)
Ran half marathons and played Field Ball (a violent hybrid of football, lacrosse and soccer played with a soccer ball from age 21-22)
- Wing Chun from age 21-24
I keep in shape onboard the ship by using the small gym we have, but because of an inspection we took all our stuff off. I've been keeping in shape using the jump rope, and all sorts of body weight activities. I'm determined not to become a fat bastard like 75% of my fellow officers onboard.
On the personal front I'm trying to switch my commission to the Army either this year, or failing that, transfer to the US Army National Guard (FL) when my hitch in the Navy expires.
I'm considering taking up Muay Thai at some point, but I'm concerned I'd be too old. (I'd be between the ages of 25-28 by that timeframe). Is 25-28 too old to take up Muay Thai?
Regards,
LoneRider
