My Dad got me into martial arts, back when I was twelve, as a way to get me away from the video game console and out doing some exercise. I’m grateful for that, in a lot of ways. Martial arts has made me a lot more fit, and giving me confidence and a career, actually. My Dad kept on with it as well, and it’s started to take a toll on him. Where we used to do sparring matches, and throws and joint locks, he’s just gotten to the point where he’s enough older that he doesn’t enjoy being thrown on the mat abruptly.
I looked at Wing Chun videos for him, and he moved into that style. However, even that’s starting to take a toll on him. His blood pressure medications sometimes make him dizzy, and he doesn’t heal from bruises as fast as he used to (for that matter, I don’t either. I marvel at the videos my Dad shot of me when I was a teenager. Oh, to have the resilience I had then with what I know now)
So, Dad and I are looking for something we can do together that’s got martial arts application, but won’t...
