Martial arts offers extraordinary fitness and health benefits to people in their 40's and 50's.

The British Journal of Sports Medicine published new research recently showing that people in their 40's and 50's who regularly practice martial arts demonstrate astounding levels of physical fitness in comparison to people the same age who don't exercise at all.

The study subjects who practiced martial arts had 12% less body fat, were able to do twice as many sit-ups, had enhanced flexibility and leg strength, demonstrated a stronger immune system and showed greatly improved balance.
