You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Tai Chi is an internal art, also called a 'soft' style, but its principles of connecting inwardly within the body and its energy and what it is basically about.
Hard styles, or external styles focus on building strength and durability, toughening up the body. Karate and Tae Kwan Do are hard styles. You are more apt to be injured in these arts because you can end up strengthening your body on a foundation of imbalance and not knowing how you body well enough. Older people who have practiced the hard styles tend to gravitate to tai chi practice later in life because of the injury problem.
I would recommend that you look at the following Mahalo pages:

I think Tai Chi is the best to start with as it is designed around slow flowing movements, helping you with balance and body control. The classes I have taken and seen are not designed around fighting or sparring or even contact with each other, its about self-control of your body, graceful movements and balance. All of these are important to ALL martial arts.
