Answers:
Is it better to cross train or to be really good in one overall art ?
All martial arts have various low stances. It is important that you speak with the instructors and let them knkow about your special circumstances. They can help you adapt your practice to prevent further irritating or damaging your knees. It is very common, especially in older people, that they can't do things like they used to, so their practice and techniques must be adapted to match their abilities and body style.How do u get ur avatar in a karate suit?

Is 10 years for a blackbelt a scam?
I personally have just begun studying T'ai Chi Chuan, and find it is very low impact and low strain on the chassis, but I still get a good workout, as my Master combines it with Qui-Gong, as well.I am very lucky, as my instructor (Master Ed Hayes) is very accommodating, as many of his students are elderly and/or handicapped (in my case, a left below/knee amputation, bad knees, and back injuries from several bike crashes).I studied Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido some 25-30 years ago, and, in some ways I find T'ai Chi as strenuous, if not more so, because all movements are done so slowly, and the body is in constant motion for 6 to 25 minutes or more in each form or exercise.
Even with my prior training and bias from the Korean styles, I find this softer style of martial art agreeable to my ol' broken down bod.
Try it! I think you'll like it!
