I first started playing capoeira at 28 because a friend at work was into it. We trained at work twice a week for maybe a year or two, but I never played in a proper roda or got a belt. I stopped after breaking my arm badly (not while playing capoeira), and then life intervened. Flash forward 17 years, and decided to do capoeira because my kids were getting in to it. I just went to a batisado and got my first belt at 45. I remember thinking at 30 that there was no way I'd be 40 and still playing capoeira, but the goal now is to just do it as long as possible until I can't anymore.
Amazing story! I also started because a friend of mine was doing it. You should not stop and remember that if at some point there will be things you cannot do (IM NOT SAYING IT WILL HAPPEN) - do not get frustrated. Master the basics (which you can do at any age really) and you can properly play capoeira and fully enjoy it! All the best!
