Best Answer

Tai Chi Chuan (Which I"m currently taking)

Pa Kua Chang

Hsing I

Wing Chun (maybe).

All Kung Fu styles can be practiced into old age if one starts early, but for those starting at an older age I recommend one of the above.

If someone is going to take Tai Chi Chuan, though, make sure that it is combat oriented and taught by a reputable master.
