is 25 too late to learn a martial art?

Its never too late :)

couture, freeman, vera and quarry all started in their mid to late 20's and all had good careers in the UFC.

I started when I was 45.

Never too late.

Which style you thinking about?

^^ This. Even though I am not sure if you're interested in competing or just doing it for your own satisfaction/need/hobby..

I'm looking to find balance, something to relax me but at the same time, something for defense.

I took my son everyday for 5 yrs,,I saw adults in the 30.40,50 range enjoying it.Depends on the person..Go for it!!!!

nah. have a buddy who started learning Jo Kuru? Not sure I'm spelling that right? But he's progressed to be tops in it and he stated at age 30.

THIS is the biggest LIE!

well obviously if you have a hunch back or you're like 70 with limited mobility, it is too late.

Just buy a Glock. Cheaper, and more effective.

main thing is flexibilty.
so just start streching now, before you decide.

explain please

explain please

From what you're describing, perhaps you'd be interested in Aikido.

Absolutely not OP. In fact it's an ideal age.

Elvis learned ten years your senior or so.

Get a blowjob and buy a gun...

I helped a 75-year old grandmother earn her black belt in my younger days. It took her several years to get there, but she definitely earned it. She could break a 1" thick hardwood plank by the time she was awarded the belt, and was quite effective in most other areas.

In short, anyone can do just about anything they set their mind on. You just need to be thoughtful, deliberate and persistent in your approach.

Learn Tae Kwon Do, it has served me very well, you use 80% legs and 20% hands, unlike Karate that uses 50/50...your legs are longer than your arms, hopefully, and much more powerful...

Hardwood, like Oak, or do you mean pine?

Doesn't go with what he described.

Why not?

whatever you do,
don't waste time with a traditional martial art.

find a mixed martial art gym in your area and join that.

none of the other crap works.
mma or a gun, it's that simple.

Yeah do it. I have almost 1year of Aikido and it's great.

Oak

Aikido is all about balance, it's flowing movements are very relaxing (albeit there's some fairly strenuous physicality involved at times), and it is strictly defense.

Too much jumping around and all that with TKD

aikido is what you want then

aikido is shit too

you clowns no nothing about martial arts.

he needs to train MIXED MARTIAL ARTS!!

do you fucking understand that?
