Too old to start Kendo again?

by Markus
(Switzerland)

Hello, I was 21 when I stopped doing Kendo (did only Iaido since) and now at age 55 I think about starting again. Is it realistic and can I reach something (with big effort)? I am relatively fit for my age and flexible. Thanks very much for your frank answers. Markus

Answer Sorry for the delayed reply. My father started kendo when he was 55 with zero experience of any type of martial arts. You can read his article here: https://www.kendo-guide.com/unknown_kendoist.html

Anything is possible if you put your mind on it!
