"Quite old" a 33? Sheez! People are starting in martial arts well into their 60s and 70s.
Story:
Lucio Alejo Jr. is an electrical engineer and hands-on businessman who owns Alecto General Technology Corporation,
Like other typical CEOs, Alejo loves playing golf whenever he feels like going to the greens with his regular golfing buddies.
Alejo’s first love, however, remains Aikido, the Japanese martial art popularized by Hollywood actor and seventh dan black belt Aikido practitioner Steven Seagal when he came out with his movie debut in 1988.
Now the holder of a fifth dan black belt, Alejo started learning Aikido in April 1983, and immediately got hooked on the martial art.
Alejo was actually a late convert to the martial art. He was already 33—quite old to get into the more aggressive martial arts like Karate, Taekwondo and even Judo. Thanks to his workouts, however, his body was able to take all the rolling and falling, required skills for the safe practice of Aikido.
