Very impressive. Gotta love stories like these, really make you feel like you can keep doing this stuff forever.

Last October, we had a gentleman successfully test for 5th Degree in the ATA at age 91.

My friend didn't start TKD until she was 61 ^_^
Made it to 2nd degree and tested for certified instructor...and while she was not able to kick you in the head, she packed a mean punch! (and don't give her a foam stick...deadly accurate aim with that baby!)

That lady rocks! Truly inspiring and, much as I don't really 'approve' of body-building, she looks mighty fine, which just goes to show that keeping active is good for you :sensei rei:.
