You have created a very good comparison giving a good 🎉 explanation of the arts. I started karate in 1974, and obtained my black belt in 1994 though I did not train continously for 20yrs. In 1995-'96 I started aikido which is a soft martial art like Tai chi and obtained my black belt(1st Dan) in 2003. Later I obtained higher grades and became an instructor. As you said the choice is personal but I feel that training both hard and soft styles gives one an advantage as they compliment each other. And you have to adapt your style to the situation depending on what sort of attack you are facing. 🎉
Thank you very much for the recognition! And congratulations on the Achievements, I continue to fight for the black belt. But I want to enjoy the journey without focusing so much on the final goal.

Both are offsprings from Shaolin Kung Fu and traditional Shaolin Kung Fu from 150 years ago is the middle way between the two.
watching systema videos,and so called soft style kung fu,look more advanced and just as effective ,relaxation vs tension
