    I would like to go for the training as long as it takes to train me to perfection but I wonder if my age would not be an impediment. I am 62 years old but enjoy good health with stamina and endurance. Can I join the training?

    Of course, you must check with your doctor and listen to whatever the body says and if the training is going too hard, you can inform your instructor. But age is of no limitation when the mind is willing to push it. :) Hope you would be a inspiration to all the young people in our class.
