bushido_man96 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 That's pretty cool. I hope I'm still kicking when I'm 84! Congrats to her! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal103 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I hear every other week how someone is "too old" or has got bad knees or a dodgy back. My Sensei helped someone train in a wheel chair with back problems, it sounds corny but it helped get them out of the chair, we heard on Friday that they are still training and about to go for Nidan.Age should not be a factor.

sensei8 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 That's pretty cool. I hope I'm still kicking when I'm 84! Congrats to her! I'm hoping that I'm still doing anything at 84; breathing and walking are at the top of my list. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassaiguy Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Wonderful! I may never test again (because of politics, not desire), but I hope I'm still training when I've gone old and gray(er).
