Hey,
I'm 28 and started in Aug of this year. I talked to a few friends that have fought in the past. One is 2-1 in kickboxing matches and trained MMA. The other has stopped fighting but went 40-3 in karate matches (point scoring). When I talked about my age they both laughed. "Your never too old" was the response.
At my gym, I told the instructors I want to fight by the time I'm 30. That's a year and a half. I arbitrarily picked this sport because I love to compete and its the only thing left where the contenders peak and even compete up to middle age! Both my friends started fighting less than a year after training. Not sure if I am to that level, but having a goal helps me measure progress.
Besides, age should only be a question for competing, not for training. Training is fun.
