@sp4zzzz The great thing about martial arts is there really is something for everyone! We've had students with all types of physical challenges from chronic back pain, joint pain, and a host of other ailments who've been able to modify the techniques and exercises into something practical that works for them. Moreover, many of these students have found the exercises helped to alleviate their pain.
I live in the greater Charlotte area and would love to take some classes at The Peaceful Dragon, but I have chronic pain in my back (degenerative disc disease) and afraid I wouldn't be able to do even the most basic of things. :(
