so sorry to hear about your husband!
The 5 men in our house do martial arts. My younger 2 are in karate, my older 2 and hubby do kickboxing. Our school offers many much lower-impact styles as well: Wing-Chung and Tia-Chi. I did Tia Chi for a tiny bit, but otherwise don't really have anything personal to say about those two other than there are a variety of ages, genders, and sizes in our school. I think martial arts are very masculine, and I think if he observed a class from more than one school, you'd find a lot of variety and teaching styles. The instructors we've had have always stressed working at your own level.
Hope you find a good solution for him!
