Product 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.

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 ... Read More

It would be difficult to write a better book for newcomers over 40.
As I was reading this book, I thouhght to my 48 year-old self, this is comforting. I've been doing martial arts for twenty years and there was not a great deal of new materials, however, I put myself in the shoes of the target audience. If you are approaching 40 or over 40 and have dabbled in martial arts or are in to it as I am, you should read this book just to ensure that you have a firm grasp of the changes that occur as you ...

This book is full of practical information for either the "older" martial artist or anyone who wants to take up martial arts and is not in peak physical condition. I wish I had found the book earlier. I started taekwondo in my forties and achieved black belt at age 46. Much of the info Dr. Kim shares is spot-on, particularly regarding how to modify training/conditioning techniques to avoid injury or aggravation of pre-existing weaknesses. I love his advice on sparring young folks who are quicker and ... Read More

I started training (Tang Soo Do) at the age of 43, in February 2008. This is a valuable resource for learning more about the changes my body has gone through (and will continue to go through) as they relate to my martial arts training.
I will refer to this book often, and I am very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this to anyone who is over 40 (or even getting close).
