Black Belt at 70

Missouri -- Very few have the dedication it takes to earn a black belt in a martial art. Fewer yet are able to do so at the age of 70.

On March 2, Janet Hinson of Morehouse became the most senior student in the area to successfully test to the rank of first degree black belt in taekwondo.

"I started when I was 65 I think, about five years ago," Hinson said. "My doctor required me to exercise. I do not like exercising at the gym on those stupid machines and I get bored walking around a walking track. And I like watching martial art movies."
