Started at 10, 29 now, but I've taken some big gaps in training (I have a total of about 9 years training spread out over those 19 years) and feel that I've wasted a lot of time on the wrong arts. I wish bullshido had been around when I lived in a city with a good selection of schools in my late teens/early twenties. sigh....

Yeh I got a similiar situation, I don't have any training gaps but I spent alot of time training in things that are more of an interprative dance then a combat art. Before I was exposed to a few streetfights I trusted in every technique I was spoonfed. I'm on the right track now though.

Did TKD in my early years (10-12), but that hardly counts, right?
Did aikido and shotokan karate for a bit when I was 18-19.
Started taijutsu at 20, 21 now.

Did Temple Kung Fu when I was 14, quit when I was 15, then started TKD when I was 16, stopped when I was 17, and finally started BJJ a few months ago. However, I don't plan on quitting BJJ any time soon. :)
