I take 'X' to mean a variable. Manny is asking us to share what we believe we cannot achieve in the arts.
For me, I don't know that there is a limit, even as I age. It's all a matter of what one's goals are, and the direction my MA has taken, I don't particularly value techniques or strategies that my body can't execute. So while I would likely have a difficult time throwing one of those 540 degree kicks, it's not something I want to be able to do either. On the other hand, I can close in tightly and disrupt my opponent adeptly and will only get better and better with these skills over time.

Sorry, I erased my post cause I feel at the end of it that was maybe to dramatic.
But well keeping the things short, Almost al my goals and troubles I have had over the last 6 years or so I have reached all my goals but one, losing weight.
I had a terrible problem with one of my daughters that wife and I and our Lord (Jesus Christ) pass trough, I pay the bank my house mortage with a lot of sacrifice, even I fought pretty hard to obtain for my goverment the customs autorization I need it, etc,etc.... but something as easy as lossing weight I can not achive it over the years.
No matter how hard I tried I can't went down to my ideal weight of 200-210 pounds.
Now talking about the Dans inside MA, I will never get a 10th Dan but I wopuld like to achieve level of a 3rd or 4th Dan and this is possible.

Manny, If you cannot lose the weight by your own means then that is when it is time for you to seek outside help.
Not everyone has the will power to do all things on their own. Sometimes you have to know when to seek outside help. I suggest you do just that if losing weight is what you want. It is easy to do, just not for you on your own.
Good luck my friend.

As an aside, if I become President of the KKW does that qualify me for 10th? Because I don't think the president is a skill position as much as a political one. Just trying to find the logic.
