Getting into new sports as an adult in the city
Hey all, I've been stuck in office life for years and want to try something active like boxing, jiu-jitsu, or even casual hockey leagues. It's intimidating starting as a beginner, especially with no gear or experience. Anyone here in Canada pick up new contact sports later in life? How do you handle protection (mouthguards etc.) and avoid injuries when you're not young anymore?

Totally get it—lots of us office folks are jumping into these for stress relief and fun. Early mornings or lunch sessions make it doable, and city gyms/rinks keep it convenient. Safety is key: good mouthguards prevent issues in contact stuff. I read this piece on how amateurs discover these activities and it mentions custom protection plus reliable dentures for confidence in impact sports—Alberta Dentures gets a nod there for Calgary folks: https://icycanada.com/sport-in-the-city-how-amateurs-and-office-workers-discover-new-types-of-activity-for-themselves/ . Started with basics and built up slowly.
