Hmm... I started straightforward on level 3 since I were a teenager... Just the "relax mode" was failing, after my instructors. (But improving, I hope.)...
When you feel 3, you are getting old. You start to modify your training.
- Reduce (or remove) all jump kicks.
- Keep your body in relax mode most of the time.
- Use a slow move to generate next fast move.
- Only put power at the end of your punches.

To make it simpler, I doubt that definition is widely valid.
PS: When getting older, people need to be smarter to keep pleasure with the practice. Tentative of alternative...
Again, it is relative to some styles (both points). But agree with "simple", not when becoming older, but as a senior student. Most of the things are already natural as breath, so one can focus on a couple of points... And probably, the partners/opponents are not much higher level, as when beginner.When you get old, anything that you have not developed yet, you stop trying to develop it. Anything that you have already developed, you try to maintained it. Your training start to get as "simple" as:
- Protect your head. Don't let any striker to punch on your head.
- Control your opponent's shoulders. Don't let any grappler to get your leg or waist.
Eh, you can have 3 happen at a younger age, and not when getting old. I had 3 happen when the amount I was training each day drastically decreased, and also when my back (and probably for any medical issue) started getting worse.Through your life time MA training, you will see the following pattern:
1. (10 - 40) Today's you is better than yesterday's you.
2. (40 - 60) Today's you is the same as yesterday's you.
3. (60 - 80) Today's you is worse than yesterday's you.

You may be OK with it... I'm fighting it tooth and nail.

OK, at least I'm denying it tooth and nail!
Beats the alternative.
One exercise is very important for old people and that is to "swing your leg toward your head". If you can repeat that 20 times on each leg, you will maintain:I think many people set low expectations on what they will be like when they "get old" and how it's going to be when they "get old".
Tell me that's you. lol. You post reminds me that there is a limit to the things I used to do when I was young. Like most young kids learn the hard way, that just because it feels like a fart doesn't mean a fart is going to come out. I like to think that I will still have the ability to master the skill of letting one out at the age of 90 without error. lol.I ain't worried about getting old. I'm still doing the same thing I did as a seven year old. Getting dressed up, wearing a gun and playing cowboy. Except now I get paid for it.
lol.. what's up with that picture...but that's one exercise as I can check as normal everyday exercises.One exercise is very important for old people and that is to "swing your leg toward your head". If you can repeat that 20 times on each leg, you will maintain:
- flexibility,
- single leg balance,
- endurance.

Because of the invention of tube socks and tight short shorts with the shirt tucked in, my childhood pictures are forever banned from the Internet.That's me. Got beat up in those clothes, too. Good times.
