Thinking about getting into an exercise routine to help me quit smoking and help with my hypoglycemia which is starting to get noticeable and I was thinking about this martial art. Figure if seniors can do it it'd be about my level being out of shape as I am. I used to do some very casual martial arts and sparing when I was part of a club in college so I'm not totally a novice.
What do you think, if you do it what's it like?
Idk much about Tai Chi
I can also recommend Wing Chun, it's good exercise and it provides some very important foundational concepts that can be mixed with other martial arts if you're interested in taking it further in the future.
People critisise it but I think it can come quite in handy in a self defence scenario if you train with that in mind and do some sparring now and then.
From a fitness perspective it's great for the whole body, it's mostly punches but kicks of all heights are not unusual and there's always lots of legwork. Some exercises of it can also pretty meditative.
