Is it too late to find a dojo and start martial arts?

Ive always loved martial arts, and I've been learning bo staff on my own for a little bit. I'm 27, and I really want to join a dojo, but I don't want to be the only adult in a beginners class full of kids. Anybody know if most dojos offer adult beginner classes, or if its like boyscouts where everyone starts in the same class.

    My husband started taking Kung Fu at the age of 46. He was in a class of adults; there were some kids, but mostly adults.

    It is never too late. I was 36 when I started. Most dojos have separate children's and adult's class and all levels train together at the start of class.

    I started Taekwondo at age 34 and now I'm looking at competing in State this year! Most of them offer adult classes, in fact I'd say very few only offer kids classes. Most will also offer your first 1 or 2 lessons free so you can get a feel for it before you commit. Do it!!!
