For the last several years I've been wanting to get into martial arts. For some reason I thought I'm too old to start. After researching it, I realize it's perfectly normal to start as an adult. So here I am at age 31 looking to start.
I haven't signed up anywhere yet. I've found a school I like. I met with the Grand Master there Friday evening. I was hoping to observe a class, but they were having belt testing so no classes. I emailed him this morning asking if I can observe one this week. I'm 99% sold on this school (http://www.yangsmartialart.com/). From the website, "At Yang's Martial Arts School, we practice Sun Moo Do, which combines the arts of Tae Kwon Do, Hap Ki Do, Kung Jung Moo Sul, Gumdo, Meditation and Ki Training."
The one thing causing a little hesitation is that it requires a contract for a minimum of one year. It's not that I think I won't enjoy it and want to quit.. it's more of my personal issue of hating contracts!
Any advice for a guy my age getting into this, I'd appreciate it.
