I did a martial art for 2 years as a kid and I wasn't bad. I had to quit for reasons beyond my control and I never joined again.
I started a new martial artagain at 17 but the travel was too inconvenient at that time in my life so again I stopped. I tried another class but the guy in charge was insanely creepy who got me alone and started talking about common types of rape attacks which might have been perfectly innocent to help me protect myself but I freaked because I didn't think it was appropriate.
Now I'm 22 and I really want to go back and get a black belt because I think it's a useful skill. I nearly got there as a kid. But I feel stupid doing it as an adult when so many kids are black belts and so many people got black belts as kids and have been for years! But I wasn't bad at it when I did it and I'd hopefully be able to keep going this time without school and family interfering.
Did you start as an adult?
Adults only or both adults and kids class? (There were adults in my group when I was a child.)
It's better to start late than not do it, right?
I just feel so dumb. White belt for the third time would be embarrassing. Every time I look up a place to go I get put off by the cost or location or embarrassment.
Also, which martial art do you recommend?
I was brown belt when I quit by the way
