65 years ago in Fairbanks, Alaska, I was a green belt on the U.S. Air Force Judo Team. As they say, time flies by.

However, I wanted to get back into better shape and learn more self defense. Master Gorino and I had some frank conversations about my safety and if this would be a good fit, since I was 85 years old at the time. I am currently an 86 year old yellow belt and look forward to earning my green stripe rank shortly. All ages are welcome to join…even an old goat like me!
