I've met people who have taken up martial arts in their 30's and become quite successful. I met one man who began aikido when he was 56, and by the time he was 65 he was healthy and could fight well for his age.

This has been discussed before here on the forums. Choosing a good local teacher is more important than choosing the best style. There isn't one. There are many styles because there are many different kinds of people with different bodies and minds.

Try out several local clubs and choose the one with the best teacher and atmosphere.
