As you get older, discover how to:
Adjust your practice
Adapt self-defense strategies
Modify warm-up and stretching
Face fear and build self-confidence
Avoid injury and promote recovery
And,
Gain insights from renowned martial artists across various disciplines
Learn the health benefits of continuing martial arts practice throughout the lifespan
Martial Arts practice is a lifelong journey, but approaches that worked when you were younger may not serve you as well as you age. Despite advances in medicine, everyone experiences some age-related decline.
This book shows how martial artists can adapt their training as they grow older—improving efficiency, protecting health, enhancing safety, and maintaining confidence and self-defense ability. Rather than promoting a single approach, it encourages readers to tailor their practice to their own goals, abilities, and circumstances.
Along with the authors’ insights, the book includes perspectives from leading martial artists across styles. While especially relevant for older practitioners, its lessons apply to martial artists of any age, experience level, or discipline.
In addition to the authors’ perspectives, this book features Insights from leading martial artists across disciplines.
Richly Illustrated throughout with over 50 black and white biographical and historical photographs and nearly 50 warm-up and stretching images.
“Although I am ninety years old I feel in such good health and spirits, that I would not be at all surprised if today marked the beginning of a new life for me.”
