My martial arts journey started when I was 24, I'm a lifelong martial artist and as I've gotten older, my passion for movement has expanded further beyond martial arts. Here's to moving like a ninja when I'm 50 and older.
If you are already into martial arts, parkour, dancing, climbing, calisthenics or any other form of movement, good for you.
If your time is limited, make sure to do a bit throughout the week, so your skills remain as you age and gradually when/if you can, you can add bits and pieces to your skillset.
I recommend being able to move in as many ways as possible, not just because that allows you greater freedom of movement, but that also allows you more opportunities to practise, regardless of your environment, injuries, or other constraints, there'll be something you can do.
Also, for the self defense aspect, I recommend learning some striking and grappling techniques and testing them in sparring.
