"Taekwondo for Seniors," www.seniortkd.com. "Master Russ Johnson, a 67-year-old 5th Dan in Taekwondo, maintains a website that encourages seniors to participate in the martial arts.
Among the advice he offers is this: "What do you get from a martial-arts workout? Strength training. Cardio fitness. Increased flexibility. Brain fitness from learning new things. And, on top of all this, a setting in which to make new friends. The social aspect of martial-arts training is something you shouldn't underestimate, because researchers agree that maintaining an active social life as you age is extremely important to your overall health."
You can find Taekwondo for Seniors at www.seniortkd.com."
