Description
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.
