A Fit Judo Grandad

How totally inspiring, my hat off to you Sir! My esteemed reader might also want to compare this to the "Wow, three years to black belt (aka. 'Expert' status)" nonsense found in some other belt farms.

UK -- After more than 50 years of judo, grandad -- and self-confessed fitness fanatic -- Jack Mitton, 75, was recently awarded his black belt on his birthday.

The Littleborough, Rochdale senior and his partner Maurice Clarke, 72, can often be seen throwing each other around on the tatami (mat), according to manchestereveningnews.co.uk.

Mr Mitton claims his success formula is quite simple: "Positive thinking and feeling fit," he said.
