Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. STILL STANDING: KARATE AFTER 50When Life, Body, and Identity Collide Your knees protest the deep stances. Recovery takes days, not hours. A junior you once mentored just outran you across the dojo floor. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a question is forming that you are not ready to…ask out loud. What This Book AddressesKarate after fifty presents a collision of forces that no training manual prepares you for. Your body has changed in ways you did not choose - recovery takes longer, hormonal shifts affect your strength and stamina, and accumulated injuries demand decisions you were never taught to make. At the same time, the demands of career, family, and aging parents are often at their peak. The dojo, once a refuge, can begin to feel like one more pressure in a life already stretched thin. This book addresses those realities directly and without apology. What This Book OffersStill Standing works through eight challenges that define karate training in the fifties. The returner's journey comes first, covering the psychological and physical demands of returning to martial arts after a long absence and introducing the Ninety-Day Re-Entry Framework to structure that process. Surgery follows, with evidence-based guidance on the knee, hip, and shoulder decisions that aging practitioners keep postponing. A chapter on hormonal change addresses testosterone decline and menopause and their real impact on training capacity - subjects the martial arts world prefers not to discuss. The book then examines the collision between serious training and the pressures of career, family, and aging parents, including the concept of Minimum Viable Training for when life leaves little room. It sits with the psychological weight of juniors surpassing you, and provides a framework for navigating that transition honestly. The question of masters karate grading and rank receives direct treatment: whether pursuing another dan grade still makes sense, and what it means to stop. The final chapters address the transition into teaching and the dojo politics and legacy questions that surface for senior practitioners who have been in the room long enough to matter. Each chapter draws on composite case studies and current research to provide grounded exploration rather than easy reassurance. Reflect, Apply, and Build InsightEach chapter includes structured reflection questions to help readers think through their own circumstances rather than apply generic advice. The book also provides decision frameworks - including the Ninety-Day Re-Entry Framework and questions for evaluating the surgery decision - that allow practitioners to assess their specific situation clearly before acting. Who This Book Is ForThis book is written for karate practitioners in their fifties navigating the real complexity of long-term training. It is equally relevant for those returning to martial arts after years away, those facing a surgery decision, and those quietly wondering whether their best years in the dojo are behind them. It is not a technique manual, a philosophy text, or a motivational guide. It is an honest, research-informed account of what training at this stage of life actually involves.

Kubicek, DBA, Renshi is a behavioral-risk researcher, scientist, and lecturer whose multi-country doctoral research at Charles Sturt University examined the psychological, emotional, and cultural factors shaping risk perception, decision-making, and adaptive performance.
