The oldest beginner that I know of was somewhere between 50 and 60 when he started kendo. When his body couldn't take it anymore he decided to do iai instead. He is now somewhere in his eighties and 5dan in iaido.

The oldest beginner we've had in our club lately was...52, I think (this was iai). His problems were different from the younger beginners of course, but he is dedicated and rarely misses practise.

I'd say you're definately young enough.
