First, get the right information, then visit a proper teacher! Maybe you wait a while until we come forward with just some more info on this website!!Page 3 Fernando Mercurio 57 yr. (ri). is 5th DAN WTF Taekwondo, international WTF refereesparring, chairman of the referee committee Vlaamse Taekwondo Bond (VTB).prof. Dr. Jan Lodder 63 yr., neurologist, obtained 1st DAN WTF Taekwondo at 60, and 2nd at 63 yr., and holds a primary level taekwondo trainer license (VTS=Vlaamse Trainer School). He is leader of the scientific project: the SEKWONDO STUDY.The CHUN JI trainers gained much experience form coaching 24 elderly adults [m/f; age: 58(40-72)yrs.] in the SEKWONDO project. Now they aim to share this experience with other trainers anywhere, and to promote "SEKWONDO" amongst their peers.Various elements of physical fitness, such as coordination, muscle strength, flexibility, balance, motor speed, decline with age! Age-adapted taekwondo training not only contravenes such decline, but even improves these functions, which are important for moving around, staying mobile and, thereby, independent from others. Look for a taekwondo school in the neighbourhood, and ask the teacher!PillTaekwondo improves physical fitness, coordination, balancePage 4Q: what is SEKWONDO? A: an integral physical exercise method for adults and elderly, based on the Korean martial art of Taekwondo! Q: are you teaching elderly how to fight? A: no, certainly not. Taekwondo is primarily a system of self-defense! Q: but is is still something for young people, isn't it? A: absolutely! but also for their parents and even grandparents! Q: why is that? A: sekwondo is not only great fun, but also beneficial for your health; various functions may improve! Q: but not when one is over 30 or 40, and consequently "over the hill", is it? A: we don't believe in fairy-tales and you would be surprized! Q: is it a separate martial art then? A: no, it is based on WTF-taekwondo Q: what is your gain from this all? A: for a retired neurologist like me, a lot of fun but nothing material, really.
