Studying karate history, I have noticed that in the late 1800's and mid 1900's, many of the Okinawan masters and their students lived to be 75-90 yrs old. Quite a benchmark, even considering their healthy diet on the island. Then, during the rest of the 1900's, it seems that a number of them died younger from strokes.You might also want to learn about the signs of a Stroke. Especially if you have any of the older crowd or are part of the older crowd. Time is a big issue for strokes as well... When you see someone a little dizzy is that because of his exhaustion, did he just get thrown really well or almost choked out or is he having a stroke. In the case of a stroke, minutes count.

Maybe Western diet made its way there, or modern hustle and stress took hold. Maybe they did not condition properly or lost the idea that, while strenuous karate can be done in advanced years, there is a limit as the old extreme training methods of their youth had to be toned down. Maybe religion crept into their art and, unlike some of the colorful characters in karate's past, foreswore healthy doses of sake.
Regardless, I have learned to heed the advice of both my wife and sensei to ignore my ego and enthusiasm in favor of common sense in my training. Stop when your face turns red, don't forget to breathe, and don't try to prove how strong you are. I know there are many old warriors out there, but take care to compensate for your age - you have other skills besides pure physical ones to rely on.
I could give dates of birth and death for a number of the individuals referred to, but my post was not meant as an academic work. And thank you for your comments on diet.you a bit vague on dates, but in the mid,1900s, I'd sugest the second world war had a serious impact on average age of death
there nothing unhealthy about a western diet, prior to circa 1940, the most dangerous part was they didnt have enough to feed everybody, there after is exspessly the american diet that the problem,
