hello everyone! i registered last week but didn't say anything to all of you. I am training in silat but used to trained in Taekwando when I was younger. Now i am looking into an art that is softer in its appproach as compared to the hard training i used to get into in TKD. The aches and strains of your age catching up to you is mainly the reason behind it.
Too much hard training can do damage to your body when you get older. somebody mentioned to me. Punching heavy bags, weight training, sparring, etc can affect you when you reach old age. Think of the injuries suffered by Mohamad Ali, our famous boxer, at his age now, he has arthritis or something. what about injuries to the head, back, waist, knees and other joints.
I am looking up to all our old gurus or masters who practice their arts "softly" as they age. They are still fit in their 70's and 80's. What are their secrets to good health? Tell me what you think?
