Book Reviews of Martial Arts After 40
Book Review: great book with great advice
Summary: 5 Stars
I would highly recommend this book to anyone over 30 who is doing any kind of martial arts. The author's advice applies to any martial art, and even though he has a Korean MA background, I like the fact he isn't biased towards one or against any others in his writing. I was a competitive judo player in my 30's, and did karate on and off most of my adult life, and after being away from it for several years due to injuries, decided to get back to it. This book was very helpful in giving good advice on how the body ages and changes over time, and how to adapt. It also helped me to decide which style would best suit me, and now I am going strong again, and hope to for many more years, even with some ongoing back problems.
Summary of Martial Arts After 40
Martial Arts After 40 is the first book on the market to cater to two growing populations, martial artists and baby boomers. Once a blood and guts sport for tough young men, martial arts is now touted by athletes, aerobics trainers, actors, super models and soccer moms as the number one way for adults to get fit and stay in shape. This book addresses important questions like: How old is too old start a marital art?
What type of exercises are best (and which ones are dangerous) for the over-40 martial artist?
What are the effects of aging and how can martial arts combat them?
How can baby boomers keep up in a martial arts class full of gen-Xers?
What types of injuries are most prevalent after 40 and how can they be prevented?
This book takes a positive and enthusiastic approach to taking up or continuing a martial art in middle age or later. Readers will be inspired, reassured and educated.
