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?
More medical reasons, sure, but it's not even a real martial art by traditional art standards and you shouldn't aim for what your fitness is suitable for now (because then why do it?). Have a mindset of growth.
If you like sparring, pick an art that has sparring.
If it is Tai Chi or nothing, choose Tai Chi.
