At age 45 (~2004), my life took an unexpected turn...into a dojo! I took my son to his karate class and found that I wanted to be more than a spectator. By 50, I was wearing a black belt. I added a 2nd stripe before my 55th birthday, when due to hip problems, I sadly quit. Now in my 60s and with a new hip, I explore sports and wrestle with food, fitness, flexibility, and health.

Congratulations to you and your son. I look forward to reading your blog and check your website weekly. I to am returning to the martial arts at age 53. I studied Kenpo back in the mid to late seventies. Unfortunately, some medical problems have come up and curtailed my training. Please continue to blog to keep me motivated until I can return to full training. Thanks Doug
