Hello guys n girls,

I am just wondering at what age you have started Iaido training, how loing you have been practising now and what the progress is that you have made during that time?

I just had a really hard time accepting the fact that I'm 27 and a newb to iaido though age shouldnt matter. I know its not too late but I cant stop imagining how it would be if I had been better informed 10 years ago.............

I had done taekwondo at a young age and stopped because the dojo sucked and let agressive showoffs in......now when you look around here in the Netherlands allmost all dojos around here contain ppl which sole purpose is to show off how cool they can fight; sorry but I cant stand this; there should be a law.
I used to be a basketball player aswell and started at the age of 14; by the time I was 17 I was nearly ready to try out for the national team. I guess I just need to hear from you guys that I shouldnt be worried if I can make progress starting at this age as learning is tougher now then being a kid.

Thats 1 of the reasons I wanted to start training iaido; to boost my confidence in life........ I lost it a bit over the years.
