I started ju-jitsu at 28.

So you've got twelve years on me!

You don't realise it now young brother but your life is just beginning . . . Happy training!

Actually I just remembered an article I read in the news about a year ago. A lady lost her husband when she was 65 so took up Karate to keep herself occupied. She had just turned 75 and earned her black belt - I think that's an excellent lesson for us all - never too late!
