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?
It's good if you've got mobility issues, an older guy in my class told me he was in a really bad car accident and it helped him regain his full mobility, but if you can do more intensive stuff I'd maybe recommend doing that. It makes a great pair with yoga, we did some light yoga for our warmups and it was the most limber I've ever felt in my life. I also really enjoyed the meditation aspect, it helped me understand the whole "being aware of your body" concept.
