if I do it I want to be GOOD. So is there anyone who can tell me
whether it's possilble to become amazingly good (say winning
tounaments) if one starts at such age. And how much time per week
is normally required to practise to become that good?

Please excuse my somehow naive questions.. thanks in advance
You can be good in 12 months, or you can suck after 12 years, its right down to you. Of course your own general level of coordination and motor skills will determine what you have to work with in the beginning. But, determined people almost always do well in kendo. As for your age, your probably younger than the average North American who starts kendo...your age is not an issue.
