This groundbreaking book teaches the Korean martial art Taekwondo to
novices above the age of forty. Primarily written for Taekwondo
trainers, Sekwondo is also easily understood and useful for the student.
Why should one embark on practicing Taekwondo in the second half of
one's life? The reason is simple - you may live longer and healthier. In
contrast to many other types of sports, Taekwondo is unique in its
dynamic nature. It embodies all the various elements of physical
fitness, such as muscle strength and endurance, flexibility, agility,
balance, coordination, motor speed, and cardio-respiratory function.
With very little material written and available about sensible and safe
Taekwondo training for seniors, Sekwondo offers a fun, accessible, and
effective exercise program, while introducing a fascinating and
transformative discipline. About the Author: Prof. Jan Lodder, MD, PhD,

Rotterdam where, in 1977, he also received his PhD degree. Prof. Lodder
has been a clinical neurologist for almost thirty years, and a professor

years ago he retired, but still enjoys a non-paid appointment to the

research, such as the SEKWONDO study. Prof. Lodder holds a Taekwondo
second dan degree. publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JanLodder
