[Saz]

I'm 21, though earlier today someone asked me what year I am in school!! :(

[Jim]

I could answer but next year I'd be wrong.

[Cooler]

Cooler

[Sweeet]

[Cooler]

[Dragon_Princess]

18 as of Sept. 1. Some people classify me as a nineth grader as well as some classify me as a 21 yr. old. HHhhmmm... it depends on da hair and clothes. But, I'm a high school graduate workin my way 2 college!!!!!

[Freeform]

Chazz! I didn't realise that you were only a young 'un! :) It's quite rare to find an Instructor who's under 20!

[darlph]

46 on 9/26 and I'm not an old fogie, just a 33 year old trapped in an older body. Believe this I cut my hair off, (down to bum) and people are asking me if I am really in my forties. Now I don't have to use so much dye. :)

[fluffydoc]

26 but feeling 3 years younger.

Heh, heh, heh....

[morphus]

[Cooler]

[pgm316]

I'm 26, but I can pass for a 25 year old! Especially if the lighting is bad :)

[Big Bizz]

Old enough to know how, but still young enough to compete.

Cheers

[TkdWarrior]

hmmm.... me got 21 this yr...

[Cain]

I feel like a kiddy in here with 18 years

[taesujutsu]

A bunch of young'ns :)

I am 50, and proud of it. Took me long enough to get here.
LOL, but one thing that defintely helped is that I have been in the arts for 38(almost 39) of those years.

Everyone train hard. :D

Peace,
Tae

[TkdWarrior]

cool tae u r one hell of dude...

[taesujutsu]

Ah, but Dragon, that is even more the point.

I am not a dude. I am a lady. :) or a dudette as a freind of mine use to say.

Peace,
Tae

[morphus]

[Sean O]

Geez.. I think I'm the youngest here.... 14

Sean O

[Cain]

Ye godz then u r quite heavy....139 pound :eek: I m 17 and weigh exactly 105 punds

|Cain|

[TkdWarrior]

it also depends upon the height cain...bone structure(some ppl hav heavy bone structure, most of those who hav bringing up in tradiational cultures:))
-TkdWarrior-

[Sean O]

Yo cain how tall are you?

[Cain]

On I am somewhere between 5'5 and 5'7

|Cain|

[TkdWarrior]

i m 5 10 n around 200 lbs(ok hopefully last time cain) acc to normal ppl i m around 10 kg overwieght but with 70 kgs less i'll be like pencil thin :( ....my weight ideally should be around 76 or 77
n ppl still guess my weight around 65-68 at max 70 :confused:
-TkdWarrior-

[Cain]

I think ur weight is ideal for ur hieght, but look at the bright side - U will be competing in the heavyweight category :D

|Cain|

[Mr Heel Hook]

Im 26...and feel...260,647,489,155,238,657,823,658. I think it's cause I don't eat enough green veggies.

[Joe karate]

16... just a kid

[KickChick]

I'm the only one in my bracket here! :cry:
hmmm, I'm 43 and feel 23 .... (must be all the veggies I eat! ;) )

[Cooler]

KickChick I seen your photos and noway do you look 43 hope I look that good when I get there :D

Cooler

[KickChick]

Hey thanks Cooler!

... I said I didn't "feel" my age, ... it's also nice to know that some think I don't "look" my age (which is a plus)
...actually I don't even "act" my age :)

[pesilat]

I was born on May 24, 1971. You do the math 'cause I never quite got a handle on subtraction :)

As far as height/weight (not sure when that came into this thread, but oh well), I'm 5'8" and down to 208 now. According to my BMI, my ideal weight is about 155. Total malarkey. I'd estimate that, with my bone density and muscle mass, anything under about 180 would be unhealthy for me. So, 180's what I'm shooting for. But if I plateau before then, I'll be more than happy. Two years ago, I was 290. I'll be happy as a puppy with two playmates if I stay below 220 :)

Mike

[Wong Fei Hung]

Hey Pesilat , my mother is older than you by one year.

I'm 12 years old.

Am I the only one here that is this young?

[Kinjiro Tsukasa]

Ugh. I am disgustingly old, and only a beginner in MA. Wish I had started many years ago, but no point in crying over spilt milk, eh? :cry:

[chief108]

hmmm...
I'm 32
feel like 19
forever!!!!!!

Chief108

[mikelw]

16

[Vincenzo]

i'm 16

[karatekid]

i am 14 :)

[aikiMac]

I'm 32, thank you for asking. Weird thing is that so far my 30s are more fun than my 20s. And I still get carded. People say I look 22. I rather like it. And being that my drivers license doesn't expire until the year 2032, I'm doubly glad that my youthful appearance will spare me the displeasure of visiting the evil office (aka, the Dept. of Motor Vehicles).

My good pal, who is but a couple months older than me, says we're definitively old. He says there is four inches of topsoil, and it takes seven years to erode one inch, so every 28 years all the current topsoil is gone and we have all new dirt.

Thus, me and my friend are older than dirt.

I gotta good laugh out of that one. For some reason my wife didn't laugh, though.

I asked my friend if it's true or not, about the dirt. He said, "As far as you know!"

[teguro]

17 next month

[chaozkingz]

23 and extremely unfit :P

[Greg-VT]

19 - I really don't like this number. And now I'm stuck with it for a year. :(

[Saz]

I was 21 when this thread started, now I'm 22. How time flys :)

[Pacificshore]

38 pushing the big 40, and gearing up for my MID-LIFE crisis:D

[KickChick]

I can't possibly be that only "1" person up there can I?? (41-45)

[pgm316]

I don't think anybody liks the age there at, when your young, your too young to do what you want and when your older you rather be younger than do these things! :D

I'm 27, which is ok, if I could only stay this age forever ;)

[John G]

Now we can't have you feeling all alone Deb, now theres "2" (41-45).

[Kinjiro Tsukasa]

Originally posted by KickChick

Don't feel bad, KickChick, at least you're not in my stupid, miserable age category! (I don't even want to say which one it is!)

[Jim]

I always wanted to be 63 when I was younger. As a bloke people tend to listen to what you say more when you're old... ;)

[Kinjiro Tsukasa]

And if you're a woman, they listen less when you're older. Some people can be real A$$e$. They don't know what they're missing. Their loss.

[dmiller575]

I am 51 and one of the Edinburgh lot and proud of both facts but I have to say it is a struggle sometimes

[Kinjiro Tsukasa]

Welcome, dmiller575, good to see that age category growing here!

[totality]

i'm 15...not a bad age, but i can't drive yet!!!

[Hakko-Ryu]

wow! alot of young ppl here! i'm 21 meself

[cmaauk]

Just wait till you get old, your mind will start going too hehehe.

Rob [/QUOTE]

sorry what was the question again?:confused:

[Seminosukei]

but all you guys rock and im really hoping to one day meet yoda, coola and Jim...
Seminosukei

[Kwajman]

Kickchick, you rock, I love to see higher ranks who aren't so intimidating looking. I'm 43 also and get lots of nasty looks from younger black belts who 'have' to work with me in class. I am a high brown belt, 8th gup, and love to work with ANY of the female black belts, they seem to know what its like to be pushed aside in classes. Thanks for all your input past and future!!

[Kwajman]

Oh, I chose this avatar because it reminds me of how I look doing my spinning tornado kick!

[Em-em]

Hey Andy Murray... you're *@? Right?

17, an I want to be seventeen forever.

[saikyou]

Im 18 but others said that i look older. maybe because of my body. Im a big guy.

Thanks Kwajma ... don't let the smile & dimples fool you! Its just a ploy so as you never know what I am thinking! ;) ...
That is just down right wrong to have fellow students esp. black belts, give you nasty looks.... because of your age even!

Let me at em'!!!:woo:

What we lack in youth we make for in wisdom!

Good book to read......Speed Training for the After 40 Martial Artist (http://www.aautaekwondo.org/TrainingTips/TTSpeed40.htm)

[Kinjiro Tsukasa]

Yay for the mature students! (Don't call me "old", TFW! -- and see the "Boc" thread if you don't know what TFW means)

I have the book from which the article KC linked to is excerpted. I'm looking forward to reading it. I can only imagine the looks I might get in the dojo if I actually looked my age! Luckily, I don't!

[gojuman]

My profile says junior member, but I must have been having a senior moment when I registered. I'm 40+

[KickChick]

Your member status will change to Senior once you get your post count up to 100. .....enjoy your "youth" while you still have it!! ;) :D

[Kwajman]

Thanks for the support KC!

[Sekmet7]

I'm 18, soon to be 19 (woohoo!)

I'm really surprised that the forum is the younger ppl! For some reason, I thought everyone was a lot older than they actually are! (no offense ppl!!!!)

[redi knight]

18, the best year yet, i can feel the new man power flowing through my veins,lol.
plus i live in canada and when you turn 18 you can do somany things..drink, buy weapons,...... and refer to people that arent 18 as children, thats the best :D

i also thought ppl on this forum were older then they are, guess they just came off as wise and humble :D ;)

[Ara]

im at that useless age of 20 :P

[Coyote]

I am 29. Along with several members, I guess that makes me older than dirt (thanks, Aikijudo-- I needed that.) ;)

I also get carded whenever I want to buy liquor or go to a bar-- the drinking age, here, is 21. Of course, my wife (4 months older than me) still gets carded when she wants to see an 'R'=rated movie. Not kidding!

[unexist]

well i'm a fairly new member but dont expect me to go anywhare!!! i'm 20( 21 august 24th)

[Matt_Bernius]

29, almost half way to 30. 30... Big scary round number, devisible by 10. Oy. *Shudder*

[#1 Stutta]

I'm 15. 16 in October and then I can get my license AND a car. I know what car I'll be getting for college (in 3-4 years). My dad's 2004 Cavalier Coupe.

[tkd_princess78]

Just turned 26 but I look like Im 19 or so im told

[JohnnyX]

I'm 42.

I haven't seen many older than that on here.

:)

[La Mancha]

Im 56 so who are the other 2 who said they are in this age group?

David

[Nrv4evr]

immature and stupid at age 19... a lot of wise men at this forum though, which is nice, since we at least get some form of education while off from school

[Albert]

Will be 18 5/07/04 YAH NOW I CAN BUY SCRATCH TICKETS WOOHOO! :D

[shootodog]

amen! the 30s are the age to be! born 1972.

[Kwajman]

Well, I'm 44, but my favorite year was when I was 28. And NO, I'm NOT living in the past. Just reminiscing. :(

[bigd]

therea more young people than i thought in here,
ill be 23 in august.

[Mushroom]

I'm 24 but people call me old man. My dad recently had a birthday and i asked how old he was.
"I'm either 54 or 55, i forgot...pick a number"

I then went to my mum..

"i cant even remember my own birthday, let alone your dad's!"

good to know my memory isn't going to go off...thanks mum and dad.

[Nukie]

I'm 21... then in august i'll be 22.... then i'll be 23.. 24... 25.. 26..

[IRONMAN]

21 years old. i love beer and beer loves me, ahhhh to be 21

[Tika]

Wow Im really surprised that the largest group is 18 - 25 . I dont know why. I guess I just always assume everyone is older then me. :D

[Cyrax]

this is an old topic...oh well...im 19

[Sub zero]

[dolphindreamer]

[dustIn credible]

[FortuneFaded]

Feeling to old and creaky for my measly 23yrs.

....your photo is misleading, the mr fisto i see has an ol' mans beard...

[Happeh]

How interesting. I only saw 4 or 5 people I would consider old.

[wcrevdonner]

I was about to start shouting at Mr Fisto for lying about his age - then I realised the poll was started nearly two years ago!

Perhaps a new one is in order...

[Mind Aflame]

I wonder what percentage of teh people who voted in the pole still use the site?

[Kalifallen]

Gonna be 22 at the end of this month (June). Not that bad of an age if you got money to spend. Then again, I guess you can say that about any age. :D

Hm, over 200 people that are over the ages of 26 and almost over 200 for the ages under 25. Interesting. Kind of glad to see people stuck with martial arts for that long or got into it at that age, and to see a lot of "kids" interested in the martial arts is cool but I wonder how many will stick with it for a long time.

[Mind Aflame]

I wonder how many will stick with it for a long time.
I plan to but I've seen alot of my close friends quit already.

[KungFuGrrrl]

Oh geeeez I should think about changin my name to KungFUGrrrrrrndma LOL
nada

:D

[GhostOfYourMind]

I'm 15 years old right now. Been doing MA for probably 4 years now, get my black belt some time this december hopefully. After that, I'll go for second degree, then third, and so on...:D Plus, there's the whole aspect of extreme martial arts that intrigues me, and so I just got into that. Needless to say, I think I'm gonna stick around in MA for quite a while... ;)

[bambeer]

31

[Martial Mark]

26 next month, Im getting old! :(

[Loci]

[ebrigham]

[gaz shaw]

[Athleng Nordic]

WOW! After reading through the thread I would have guessed more would be a tad older, but such is life. I'm 37 pushing 16. Guess I live in the best of worlds. I act 16 but I can buy beer. Good on me!!!

[Sgt_Major]

23. :D Tho sometimes I forget and say im still 21...... Guess old age hitting me early! :p

[Sh4d0wS0ul]

16 :woo:

[Banpen Fugyo]

After viewing the results of the poll, its no wonder there are so many testosterone fueled arguments about how their fighting techniques are so much better than others.

[rtkd-badger]

33 years young and living life to the fullest :D

[shotokanwarrior]

14, too young to make a point. Although people have told me I look about 20.

Cynical, bitter and world weary. :cry:

And I feel about 114. My birthday is next month and I'm dreading it. I'm only 5'7 and according to a library reference book a 15 year old girl is as tall as she will ever be.

God damn if I ever meet the author lying in the street bleeding I swear I will walk right over him.

[Goju]

16 and studying for my drivers license :cool:

[Sonshu]

29 currently.

I am not suprised by the age thing as it is pretty much how I thought it would be.

[jonmonk]

Just turned 33. You know the 30's are the new 20's. :)

[jabcrosshook]

I'm still at the tender age of 16 :cry:

Mewants to be old like the rest of you :(

[wild_pitch]

31 and.. uhm..

apparently wildly in the minority of those over 30.

I'm still at the tender age of 16 :cry:

Why does it suck? You are as young as you feel, or the person you feel, which ever has the lower value, if you know what I mean :D

[gemtkd]

I'm 20 at the moment!! 21 this year so massive party!! :)

[john yates]

Scarily close to 40 (3 months!)

I'm 19 and I'm lovin' it.

It may be cliche, but life does begin at 40...

[wee VooDoo]

im 16

[Davey Bones]

dang. man, at 33 I'm in the minority... this is feeling like class where I tend to be the oldest student!

[shotokanwarrior]

You are as young as you feel

*Yerkkkgurgle*]

That hurt, oh crap, that was devastating.

[Daffy]

20 years old

[rainbows]

20, I'll be 21 in June.

[Munen Mushin]

34.


Later...

[Stalkachu]

20, 21 in August. And surprisingly, beginning to feel old. Then again, being a final year university student can do that to you, I guess. ^_^

Take care,

Stalks

[_Jay_]

interesting......

[nick ckd]

36 when I work it out, 32 if I answer without thinking. The years do seem to speed up each time.

[Kyu]

16!....Wont be 17 till Oct...

[Doppleganger]

37.

Geez if I was alive in the early Victorian era I'd have 8 years left before I could expect to die, but only if I was upper-class.

If I was working class I would have died 10 years ago! :eek:

[shotokanwarrior]

My brithday is in 17 days...I want to die.

[WingChun Lawyer]

26 years old. Already feeling back pains. That may be due to last night´s workout though.

[Paratus]

I recently turned 18, I need to change my vote :D

[Kyu]

My brithday is in 17 days...I want to die.
Wow Shotokan Warrior..You must enjoy Birth-days

[Chelle2]

"36"....but EVERYONE says I could not possibly be older than "26", so let's just go with that! ;)

Chelle

[jasonservis]

32 this year! :cool:

[Pete Ticali]

Wow!

55 on the 28th of this month..... but based on the voting I guess I'm ancient!

The only thing I have to say is......

Been there, done that! LOL

At least when I get up with aches & pains... I know it isn't because of poor technique!

Pete Ticali

[old timer]

43 today, hip hip..............

[jabcrosshook]

43 today, hip hip..............

You've hip problems at 43? Time to see a doctor mate ;)

You're only as old as the one you feel ;) hahahaha ;) :love: :Angel:

45, close to dead I think.

[seiki juku kid]

15

[fugepilot]

47 this Thursday - feel I'm already there having read this thread. :)

Seems to be a distinct skew of the age distribution on MAP towards youth, which might suggest MAs are hazardous to longevity. :D

[karate princess]

im 15!

[Brad Ellin]

43 now. Need glasses when wearing contacts in order to read, got the middle age spread thing going on, don't understand half of what the under 20's are talking about, hard of hearing from too much RnR and playing in a band when younger. But, what little hair I have is by choice. Of course, it's all grey, so I keep it shrt.

As for MA being hazardous to longevity, I prefer to belive that it's the MA that have kept those of us older folk around this long. I mean, we got a few over 50 and 60. And still kicking it. That's where I want to be. In my 90's and still kicking it.

Fatality - don't worry about starting martial arts at 15, i started at 14 and found the only struggle was flexibility to begin with, but a few years on and that soon came along :)

Doing splits isn't hard, its all in the mind. Once you learn to relax, and you know the correct excercises to do to get you into the splits, its easy. Think about it like...........i don't know..... sitting down on you back side on the floor, if you just let yourself drop onto your butt, then yeah it will hurt, but once you realise you have to bend your legs, and all the other bodily mechanics involved in sitting on your butt, you can do it and it doesn't hurt, probably not a very good example, but what i'm trying to get at is you can't just practice dropping into the splits from a standing position with feet apart and expect to get there one day - well that didn't work for me thats for sure, you need to stretch all the independent muscles seperately until they are ready for the splits if you know what i mean :cool:

21 two weeks ago.

[CDNhammer]

31, and feeling every day of it. Hoping that gettign back into MA sheds some excess desk worker weight, so maybe i can feel 29 again.

Seriously, before I started my MMA classes two weeks ago I asked my instructor if he knew CPR. Felt a lot better when he said yes....

[TKDragon]

I see that at 41 I'm in the big 3% majority. Doesn't bother me - I'm not goin' anywhere. I'll be training along side my grandchildren (if I can).

[Frenzy]

[TKD_Student]

*cries*

;o;

I'm 32, thank you for asking. Weird thing is that so far my 30s are more fun than my 20s. And I still get carded. People say I look 22. I rather like it. And being that my drivers license doesn't expire until the year 2032, I'm doubly glad that my youthful appearance will spare me the displeasure of visiting the evil office (aka, the Dept. of Motor Vehicles).

My good pal, who is but a couple months older than me, says we're definitively old. He says there is four inches of topsoil, and it takes seven years to erode one inch, so every 28 years all the current topsoil is gone and we have all new dirt.

Thus, me and my friend are older than dirt.

I gotta good laugh out of that one. For some reason my wife didn't laugh, though.

I asked my friend if it's true or not, about the dirt. He said, "As far as you know!"
Have two years really gone by? :eek: and :eek: again!

[Dojo]

Will be 27 on Monday. Got a great BD present already: the radio station I have worked at for 6 years has been bought by a national wide one. We'll ALL lose our jobs :(
