Summary: Love the approach
Comment: I got a bunch of martial arts books for christmas and this is already my favorite. The author's approach is one step beyond the average martial arts how-to book. You can tell he's really been a martial artist all his life and knows how getting older impacts your performance. I'm enjoying his "big picture" approach and even though i've been doing martial arts for more yeras than some of the kids I train with have been alive, I found some excellent tips to cope with my creaking joints and sore muscles. There's also an unexpected bonus - a section on weapons training, specifically the short stick. I think this is a great addition to training as you get older. A weapon is a whole new ballgame for an empty hand martial artist like me and will give me new goals to work toward.

Summary: good for beginners, less so if you've been at it for a while
Comment: This has a lot of information for the over-40 person who's considering martial arts training, but if you're already involved, the book may have limited value.
I found more details on the physical effects of ageing (what I was looking for) in Ted Weimann's Warrior Speed.

Summary: Expected more technical insight on aging...
Comment: Although this book is very well written and is a great guide if you do not have any other martial arts technical book on your shelf, after reading the other reviews, I was expecting some more technical insight on the aging issue and on the specifics of over-40 training. This info is there but in my opinion it's rather superficial and introductory. More than 2/3 of the book feels like a "beginner's guide" on stretching, strength, speed and general training techniques that already exists on hundreds of other "training guides" with more detail, and that every Martial Arts practitionist already knows from experience.
