STILL STANDING: KARATE AFTER 50When Life, Body, and Identity CollideWhat happens when the body that carried you through decades of training begins to change - but the call to the dojo does not?Still Standing is written for experienced karate practitioners navigating the realities of training in their fifties and beyond. It is not a technique manual, a fitness guide, or a motivational slogan. It is an honest exploration of what long-term practice actually looks like when aging, injury, career pressure, family responsibility, and identity collide.Written by Dr. Amadeus M. Kubicek - a lifelong karateka, Renshi, and resilience scholar - this book addresses the conversations that rarely happen in the dojo, but quietly determine whether practitioners continue training or disappear.
