This one is aimed at the baby boomers and while I’m much younger than the target audience, I liked the author’s information on training intelligently so I can keep doing it for many years. There are lots of drills and exercises, but the real emphasis is on training smartly to preserve joints, tendons, muscles and the heart.There is no chest pounding display of testosterone here but rather wisdom gained from the author’s many decades of training. If something is too easy, he explains how to make it harder; if it’s too hard, he tells you how to back off the intensity but still stay on track to maintain and to progress, even into your 70s. I loved the chapter on the best targets to hit to get results, even though your strength might not be as great as it once was. There is even a chapter on training for surgery and training again to recover quickly.As always, Christensen’s crams the book with tons of info, nuggets, and ideas to keep you enthused and training smart.

North-Martino Solo Training 3 50 And Older is chock-full of information, drills, and exercise for the aging martial artist. Don’t let the title fool you; this book is great for any aging martial artist. I’m just hitting my mid-40s and I found the information in this book very helpful. I had the opportunity to borrow this book for free using my Prime Membership, and I’m glad that I did. If you find just one idea that you can put into use in your own training, then the time it took to read the book was worth it. I found plenty, and I was reminded of some drills and concepts that I had forgotten.Christensen covers a wide range of subjects. He spends a good deal of time on resistance training—a very important aspect of solo training for any aging martial artist. He also covers proper diet, training your core, and speed training, among other topics.This book is subtitled Karate, Kung Fu, and Taekwondo. That’s an important distinction. Christensen wrote the book with the traditional stand-up martial artist in mind. But even if you practice non-classical or reality based self-defense styles, I think you’ll get something out of it. Kata training is also covered. I’ve always felt that kata was best practiced at home anyway, leaving the time in class for drills and sparing that requires partners.Chapter 14 gives you a fairly thorough look at “fight enders.” Just make sure you understand use of force laws before you employ them. But as we age, we don’t have time to mess around. If you’ve mostly focused on sports with rules, this is good information to know.At the end of the book Christensen provides tons of drills that you can implement or modify to your liking. Inevitably a few reviewers will comment that anyone with an intermediate or advanced level of training could come up with the same or similar workouts. While that might be true, I just don’t see why anyone would want to reinvent the wheel. Christensen has done all the work for you in this volume, providing a template that you can modify to your heart’s desire. Since Christensen uses these workouts himself, you know they work. And that will save you time, and the trial and error of putting together your own workouts.If you’re a student, you know you can’t improve enough by just training during class time. If you’re an instructor, you have to put in the time before or after class for your own improvement. This is a book that will help you to improve while reducing injury. It’s a welcome edition to any martial artist’s library. I know I’ll be adding a physical copy to mine.
8 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Useful book for old timers and even youngsters recovering from injury. By Paul James Harper I am fifty four with a military, law enforcement and security background. Martial arts wise I have done a bit of Krav Maga, Khmer boxing (similar to Thai) and whatever defensive tactics was mandatory at the agency I was working at required. I also had a messed up back caused by being on the computer too much due to my job. But with gradual exercise and physiotherapy is improving.I found the book very useful in its sections on recovering from injury. Of course as Loren Christensen say you want to get good medical advice before starting any sports program. But you can have difficulty with doctors who don't understand the benefits, and who overstate the risks from martial arts. As it says on the Australian State Government of Victoria Health Department website "Martial Arts - Preventing Injury" "The [actual] risk of injury from martial arts is low compared to other contact sports. Most injuries are to the limbs and are usually mild to moderate such as bruises or cuts." I was lucky here in Phnom Penh in that I have two good Dutch expat physiotherapists who are active in sports and understand sports injuries.The key thing is to inform your instructor and any training partners this is my injury and don't do anything you think is unsafe. Then you can train around your injury.You have to accept it takes longer for you to heal.One final tip. A lot of us these days work in jobs spending long hours with computers. I recommend using a pomodoro timer which gives you an audible signal to get up and walk away from your desk and stretch. In addition to saving your back and neck, the Pomodoro Technique enables you to learn better and do focused work like writing and computer programming. Google with the keywords "pomodoro technique app" and you'll find lots of apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, etc.A detailed look at the Podmodoro Technique and its use in learning (math, science, languages, etc) can be found in A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra).For motivation for us old-timers I recommend a few books:The Pyjama Game: A Journey into JudoAbout a guy who begins to study Judo when he is fifty years old and gets to black belt level.In the US the same book sometimes has the title:Falling Hard: A Journey into the World of JudoAngry White Pyjamas: A Scrawny Oxford Poet Takes Lessons From The Tokyo Riot PoliceRobert Twigger is only thirty nine, but he studies Aikido with the Tokyo Riot Police.Survival Of The Fittest: The Anatomy of Peak Physical PerformanceMike Stroud, who advises NATO on human performance has written an interesting book on the effects of aging on athletic ability.
