Martial arts that is friendly to beginner women in their 50s?

As the title says. I’m a woman in my 50s, and I used to do some tae kwon do back in my 30s and liked it a lot. I’ve considered getting back into some form of martial arts for many years now, in part as a way to stay fit, but since every website is full of images of men or young children, it’s really difficult to figure out where to start.

Has anyone got any suggestions? I’m less a fan of grappling ever since I blew out my knee in jiu jitsu throwing a significantly larger man over my shoulder, but I’m also open to all suggestions if it’s a friendly, welcoming space for someone like me. I live in Glenmore and tend to look close to home, but that’s not a strict requirement.

TIA!
