Excels at 92

Way cool!

Story:
Nebraska -- Judo is a martial art that develops physical strength and mental toughness. A Lincoln man is strong and tough - thanks to more than 50 years on the mat. Paul Owen lifts weights and exercises three times a week and has for years. The 92-year-old has to stay in shape for the other two days a week he spends on the judo mat.

When I first started, if anybody took me to the mat I was beat. Eventually, I got to the place where I had enough technique to make them work for it.

Paul got started in judo more than five decades after watching an expert teach a class. "That was the last. That was the last watching," said Owen.
