Cool

For most 70-year-olds, getting a black belt is about purchasing an accessory. Not so Bob Willette of Sidney. He acquired his black belt through karate achievement.

Sunday he earned this mark of martial arts expertise, the culmination of a three-day test that involved a mountain climb, a rigorous written exam, a long distance run and fighting 13 seasoned black belt opponents.

Not bad for a retired man who started his martial arts training just five years ago.
