So if you want to win international championships, it looks like the best time to compete is between age 20 and 30.
Of course, you don't have to wait until you are 20 to compete in your first match. There are local tournaments available for martial artists as young as 7-years-old. And just because a martial artist retires from international competitions in his 30s doesn't mean he can't go back to the local tournaments and continue competing well past his 60s. It all depends upon the individual and what they wish to accomplish.
It is highly unadvisable to encourage young children to compete before they are ready. There are many benefits to studying taekwondo without ever competing in any tournaments at all.
