Is 37 too late to start fighting MMA?

Post by milk-milk-lemonade »

My athletic background? I swam varsity in HS. My flip-turn is fuckin' sick!

One small other thing, I don't like being hit in the face. So, I'll have to knock out all of my opponents within the opening seconds of the first round. This is doable, right?

Well Randy Couture started at like 35, but he was a greco roman olympian,, so I'd say no.

Too late to earn a living from it, not too late to fight in small amateur organisations for free. If you come to Thailand, I can hook you up with a few fights in Phuket or Bangkok, no problem.

Bas was 28 when he started, I believe.

Not sure if this is a troll thread, but if you go on any MMA forum, someone legitimately asks this at least once a week. You can start training at any age for a new workout, or just for fun. I didn't start training until I was 26, I had no previous martial arts experience, but I was still welcomed in by the guys at my gym.
