Practicing martial arts at 29.

Anyway you look at this it is a great way to spend your free time. Improving your physical well being, and learning how to defend yourself against all kinds of obstacles, plus improving your mental control to a point of erasing fear or panic for the most part. A lot of serious injuries and even deaths are caused more by those two factors alone rather than by an actual attack.

I have known a few masters over the years and they are solid physical people who can take quite a bit of punishment even into their later years without showing fear or any signs of breaking down physically or emotionally. I think you are into a WIN WIN situation and should take advantage of anything you can get out of it. Of course that all comes from what you put into it. Good luck with your new found adventure.
