I'm an older woman who just started JKD and Jui-Jitsu. I came across your site while shopping on line. I'm looking forward to all the advice and tips I can get, as I'm kinda feeling self conscious because I'm the oldest chick in the class. Any advice to help me feel more confident and at ease would be appreciated!So Hello to everyone out there!!

Kreth, Kenny wayne Sheppard is good! I mostly like hard stuff though. Like Tool, System of a Down, Seether, Black Label society, etc.

Welcome. You are as old as you feel. Who cares about age in class. I am in my 30's so I think this applies here as well.

Welcome Trouble is
Don’t care about your age. Some of the elderly people in our dojo are the most compassioned ones as well. Just be yourself and don’t judge yourself too hard.

Welcome to Martial Talk! You're never too old to begin training. I started when I was 39. Hope you enjoy the board. :)

Welcome to Martial Talk! Enjoy your stay!:) As for feeling confident...I wouldn't worry too much about it. You've already taken the first step and began to train. Keep up the hard work and in no time at all, that confidence will be built right up!

I mostly like hard stuff though. Like Tool, System of a Down, Seether, Black Label society, etc.

Nice choices!:ultracool
