:D

 

I'd like to get back into MA after a 3 year lay off, my concerns are I'm turning 44 in about 2 weeks and have some problems with a knee and hip. There are a multitude of different style to choose from and I was wondering if anyone else was or has been in the same boat.

 

I started cardio boxing with a 'BOB' about 4 weeks ago and it feels good, real good. I even took a Krav Maga intro class with my son about 2 months ago.

 

Anybody have any suggestions? or anybody in the KCMO area know of a good school to try?

 

Thanks in advance.

Judo has something of a reputation for breeding knee injuries, so I'd approach that and similar styles with caution...

 

Apart from that, it's difficult to suggest anything without knowing what you want out of it ... self defence, sport, fitness, discipline, or the tradition/spiritual side, for example.

Currently: Kickboxing and variants.

Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.

Actually you have a good point. I think at this time in my life I'm looking more for the fitness aspect of MA. I remember enough self defense from my earlier styles.

 

You mave have just given me an idea though, I think I felt the light blub go on.

 

Thanks

What part of KC are you in? I live in Lawrence, KS and work in Lenexa. I might be able to help a little.
