Defying age

Three days a week, 60-year-old Jim Louth decides to defy his age.

He goes to his basement, fully equipped with a kickboxing ring, and teaches kids, some of whom are 40 years younger, how to perfect the martial arts style.

He began teaching kickboxing in 1981, six years after he received his black belt in tae kwon do. His martial arts interest sprang from an era when Bruce Lee doing push-ups on two fingers was entertaining American movie audiences.
