Keeping going

Hard style martial arts have a time stamp attached. You can do them for a certain number of years and then you really start to pay. Adverse impact work and high kicks can damage your back and your knees. The external arts are certainly impressive, effective and exciting - but they usually harm your health.

The internal arts are a lifetime’s work. You can start aged 40 and potentially still be training for the rest of your life. You do not need to quit once you are 50. Tai chi is not dependent upon conventional muscle strength.
