27 is not old. Go for it.

Nate quarry started training Martial arts at 24 which is pretty close to your age...and look he even made it to the UFC.

DO IT.

I am definatly going to Start in January so guys, I can't beleive so many seem to start around this age and do so well. I really can't wait now.
In the meantime, if anyone can suggest good bjj websites, reading material, dvd's etc I would really appriciate it.

Both my brothers are doing boxing, kick boxing, one has been in Thailand improving his muay thai, but I think BJJ is more techinical and I really want to start learning.

Any comment on my age issue?

bro im 36 and I started when I was 30 or 31 just go for it and have some fun.

I just started at 26. I'm doing MT too. You'll be fine, just make sure your doc approves from whatever procedure you're doing.

For what it's worth, I started in August after having relatively minor shoulder surgery in February.

lol 28 too old you have to be joking

[irc]

Where the fuck do people get the idea that they are too "old" to start when they are still in their 20's or 30's? Fucking baffles me. I started at 33 without the though of being too old ever crossing my mind even once. I mean too old for what?

shit a couple of guys started at our club at 42 and are blue belts...... never to old to train
