Plenty of Fight

Maren Namdar's partner wasn't around to need her or feed her when she was 64 — nor to help her off the floor.

She walked into Napa's Guangxi School of Martial Arts last year and told Master Instructor Pat Tyrrell she had taken a bad fall and needed to learn how to fall without getting hurt.

Tyrrell told her, "Maren, I can teach you how to fall and more."

A year and a half later, the German-born Namdar has learned to defend herself from more than gravity. She has learned the American mixed martial art of Kajukenbo Self-Defense.
