Many people don't enjoy "hardcore" martial arts like Muay Thai, Kyokushin Karate etc. and prefer a relatively "gentler" one. Also most styles are not well rounded but focus only on a subset of techniques eg. Kicking in Taekwondo, Throws in Judo etc.
I recommend (disclaimer: i am a 1st dan) you also take a look at Shorinji Kempo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorinji_Kempo) which is relatively gentler/fluid/quick/fast, has a defined good balanced syllabi of "hard" (i.e. kicks/punches) and "soft" (i.e. joint locks) techniques. The other main thing is that the blocks are done with the fleshy part of the arm and not the bone and so people find it easier to practice combat. Finally, right from the beginning you do pair practice with a partner (there are very few katas) and so all techniques are application oriented. It is well suited for youngsters, the elderly and those looking for a gentler and yet well-rounded martial art. Checkout Youtube for demonstration videos.
