Karate and tai chi - at 78

This wisp of a woman -- 5 feet tall and weighing a little more than 100 pounds -- can take down grown men ... and probably make them cry, too. She also is 78 years old.

She teaches a form of Japanese karate she didn't begin to learn until she was 60, while watching her grandson at karate classes.

"If I don't do this, I would sit around and drink soda and eat potato chips and complain about aches and pains. I don't want that."
