    There Will Always be time. its never too late to learn martial arts. it is especially easy for you because of your abilities.

    Kung Fu is the coolest but hardest to learn it takes focus and determination to properly learn Kung Fu

    Tea Kwon Do is a very popular sport and is in the Olympic games. it is mostly kicking than punching. it also has part where you learn to defend against weapons such as knives and baseball bats.

    Karate is also fairly popular It is primarily a striking art using punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands and ridge-hands.

    The age that you shouldn’t do Martial Arts is age 65 or if you have back problems or any problems. 20 is considering young age for almost everything.

    You are not too old!

    There is no best style. It is a matter of personal preference. There are better students and teachers. Do your homework on your local schools. Don’t join one until you discover which is better for you that you can afford, Which will help you reach your goals.

    Have fun!
    Good luck,

    LOL 20 years old!!!! I got back into martial arts at 35. I don’t think you are too old. I wish I would have got in and stayed in at that age.

    i am in the same exact place as you are! i’m eighteen and looking to start taking martial arts classes (again). a few years ago i started taking them and got somewhat far, but it became too much of a business and lost all of its personal value. so my advice to you in looking for a school is to search for one that doesn’t put making money in front of sincerely teaching the martial arts. i understand people need to make money, but the martial arts were not intended to be an item to be sold. choose your school wisely and i will do the same. good luck.
