What is the right age to start Kung-Fu training?

I’m 17, and I’m very interested in taking up a martial arts discipline such as Kung-Fu, but I worry that I’m too old to start, considering I probably won’t be able to do it until I’m 18 and have my own money to spend on it… I was just wondering if it is as easy to find classes for adults as it is for children? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but thanks for your help…

How do I lose weight?

I’m 13 years old, 5″3 tall, and I weigh 155 lbs. I heard the ideal weight for someone of my age and height is 110 lbs. Is this true? I’d love to have that bikini body by June, but I’d have to lose about 6-7 lbs. a month. I’ve tried Pilates, but it didn’t help, along with the fact that I’m only a teenager and the program is designed for adults. I don’t have any money for a membership to a gym or exercise equipment. My mom won’t take me to the doctor because she says I won’t listen to him. I’ve been gaining at least 1 pounds every month, I need help!!!

Adult Martial Arts classes in South Florida?

I always wanted to take martial arts growing up, but my mom was afraid to let me. Now that I am 25 I would like to start, but it seems like a lot of schools around me include teenagers in the adults classes. Does anyone know of any schools in the Broward / Palm Beach area of Florida that have good schools that could allow me to take classes with other adults?? I don’t want to fight 13 year old kids… though I am sure there are some strong 13 year olds out there I would feel like I have to hold back if I am sparring with a teen.

If no one knows of any schools then does anyone have any advice?? I prefer to take Taekwondo, but am open to other styles.
