What age to start wrestling

Question
Hi,
I am 37 years old and want to take my sons 4&6 years wrestling. I also want to wrestle and would like to know if I struggle with a sore knee if it will have a lot of impact on my knee and if I am not to old. I kept minimum fitness over the years and weigh about 120 kg

Answer
Well, Since your knee is bad i WOULD NOT recommend it for you. Wrestling requires alot with the knees like take downs and some heavy lifting from time to time. I would say you are not too old for this sport but if you do decide to take it, you will have a hard time at first because it is a rough sport, even for 17 year olds and you know how energetic those kids are. It is my personally opinion that due to your knee, i would not recommend you to start this sport but you could go right ahead. It's just my opinion. Keep in mind that your age isnt the problem, its the knee. Good luck with the kids.
