Fitness and fun

Yes it's both fun and fitness. Also I think it is absolutely brilliant that seniors are doing martial arts. We ought to see more of that!

Story:
South Dakota -- On Friday mornings at the Senior Center, three women punch the air with high blocks, knife-hand moves and the deft movements of karate.

For almost five years, Alice Melin, Bernice Rubach and Jean Kroeger have followed their sensei, or instructor, through the katas, a regimented series of moves.

The three women, who all celebrated their 70th birthdays some time ago, have achieved brown-belt status.
