    37 here, my knees are great. Sprained my ankle back for the very first time back in November in my kickboxing class and I’m starting to fear I’ve done permanent damage.

            Damage from being kicked is far less damaging than damage from a sedentary lifestyle

              maybe, if you get kicked in the head a couple times it’s potentially far worse, and in all cases it’s far greater than most other kinds of exercise. do kickboxing if you want to, I’m not trying to knock anyone’s interest, and life is too short to avoid things you love for fear of injury, but if it’s actually about health you wanna do low impact cardio and careful, controlled resistance training
