So, I have recently discovered that I have a congenital condition that is going to age my joints quicker than expected. I'm 42 - already have some damage to my fingers from jujitsu and kickboxing, and it looks like my knees and possibly toes are likely to be a problem next. (There are some medical options that are being explored which will decide how much the progression can be slowed, so I might be a able to roll for a bit longer, we will see)
Don't want to stop training, but have to consider the possibility that impact will need to be limited. Have done a little bit of trad kata work and hated it (largely unrealistic imho), but can anyone recommend a style that has limited impact training / is easy on the joints, and still has some kind of effectiveness? Or is it, as I have always assumed, a bit of an oxymoron?
