Hi Rich! I wouldn't worry too much about the age. I've seen videos online of fellows in their 70s who can still kick the stuffins out of people. I'm sure they started young, but they've proven age is just a number. If you can get training and practice it daily, it does provide some excellent cardio exercise. Doesn't seem like it would just by watching experienced folks who are doing drills, but after doing some myself, it gets the heart rate up and blood pumping.

I did some searching online for you to see if anyone in Flagstaff AZ. offers training. You're in luck! I've found the following:

There may very well be more than just those. I'd suggest you perhaps enter some keywords into a google search such as "FMA flagstaff", "eskrima arnis flagstaff" etc.

Good luck on your journey! I found that I've gotta travel a 5-hour round trip every Saturday for training in my area. In some cases, that is necessary. May you fare better.

Kurt
