The health benefits of practicing martial arts are both numerous and long-lasting. Many potential newcomers feel disheartened by their late arrival, but people of all ages can find fulfillment in martial arts. You’ll need to evaluate where your health stands currently before leaping in. Find a patient, understanding teacher whose class model is a good fit for you physically and financially. There are many styles to choose from: Tai Chi for older adults, Aikido for working with a partner, or other more offense-based styles such as Karate and Tae Kwon Do.
