Hi
my name is Donna and I am studying Zen Do Kai here in Kalgoorlie Western Australia. I am currently a blue belt. I am a late starter having begun martial arts last year as a 44th birthday present to myself. My boys gave me my gi as a present. I have 4 boys and a daughter. I am enjoying reading through past posts and hope to contribute sometime.:)

Welcome to MT! Don't worry about being a late starter - you have more self-discipline and maturity than the young folks, anyway.

Greetings and welcome to MT..Don't worry about being a late starter, at least YOU STARTED instead of staying home laying on the couch and watching TV..The best of luck to you..Keep us posted as to how it's going and maybe you'll inspire someone else who believes they are too old...

Welcome to MT, Donna. There's plenty late starters AND 40 somethings, so you're hardly alone. :)

Enjoy the board!
