Pennsylvania -- The other students may be as much as about 65 years younger than him; still, David McCoy has no problem sparring with them on equal terms.
The 75-year-old grandfather is pumped while touting the benefits of a new experience, self-empowerment and extended family of kenpo karate.
McCoy, of Paradise Township, said he'd never tried anything like this. But when his wife of 53 years, Nannie, died in October, he needed help to cope with her loss.
The elderly gentleman has been taking karate classes for about six months and said he practices martial arts every day, according to ydr.inyork.com. "(Nannie) would be so proud of me," he said.

Another Low Blow
Cases like this is probably amongst the last of things the martial arts need. Even if this is one local school, it affects us all.
One parent in this story from Bakersfield, California, expressed her disappointment like this: "It's frustrating because this art is supposed to teach respect and discipline and obviously they have no respect for other people."
Sad, but true.
The kenpo karate school allegedly closed it's doors with nothing more than a two days written notice. Not only that, they were reportedly collecting tuition just days before they cleared out.
"They didn't give us any indication that there was a problem whatsoever," another parent said.

Liability Waivers Challenged
It seems that the use of liability waivers is being challenged in the Florida Supreme Court, according to news-press.com.
This is probably something you should look into if you are running (or plan to open up) a martial arts facility in the US!
The owner of a kenpo karate school in Fort Myers, says he is concerned with the prospect of going to court.
His dojo serves students from age 4 to adulthood. He has only seen minor bruises and injuries at his business. However, he states that if someone is seriously hurt, he shouldn't automatically become a legal target.
