Fifty-three. I’m a hopless case. Gung fu is my personal psychosis.

a 54 year old practicing white crane.
however, most people started when young and continue.
I am only mid -40. already slower and not as “flexible” as when young.
proper diet, rest/sleep and only “moderate” exercise or practice when we get old.

Yeah I totally agree.

deserves much respect to be that age and practice.good to hear it.. My own obsession..(kinda psychosis) the stuff you know at this age >> trail…
just git yerself back in the school…you obviously WANT to train…you just gotta do your thing and don’t worry about the 20 year olds doing their thing.
age
just (me) cut the crap! let me ask my old lady for permision.
we’re here, man. we’ll be gone this weekend to train w/ Uncle Kevin but weekday classes are as usual.
50 yrs and counting…
run 1-2 miles every morning, weight train 3x a week, teach classes 6 days a week
Thurs nites I’m in the city for SPM till past midnight
Friday mornings back in to train at my teacher’s apt in Chinatown
Sat. after classes are done, I go back in to hang out at my Si-Hing’s school
Sun.-my day off…back in Chinatown for more practice…I should get an apartment
Just get off yer a s s , and do it. If ya rest, ya rust. This is how you prevent yourself from aging. I’m in better shape than people 20 yrs younger than me. Look around you. Look at the people who are in their 50’s, 60’s,70,s. I train with a Sifu who is in his seventies, and still has that sparkle in his eyes, still vibrant.
What do you want to do?

There is much wisdom in this, much wisdom.
At 55 I’m doing two plus hours of still chi gong and a half hour plus of moving chi gong. This is the bare minimum for me to keep loose. Patience, determination and a good diet and everything comes together. Don’t try to make up for lost time or rush anything. Try working back into your routine in small increments through out the day. Your fifties is a good time to balance your routine. If you’ve been concentrating on internal incorporate the external and vice versa.

Gracias to all . Jumped back on the road. Its a bit inspiring (no schlock) to read these histories. Hard to express how much it means. With respect…M
