[@ryanforgan455]

[@SheepsMcgill]

For those asking: Jack got his 10th dan at 97 in 2020. Jack is still in the dojo, at 100 years old, and is officially the oldest judo teacher in the world❤️

[@carrion_man3700]

If he's in his 90's and he is still out moving around like that, then you know his technique is flawless. My sensei is a 7th dan and we're just as proud of him! Judo really is a great sport and way of life.

[@johnhearn942]

[@NH-ge4vz]

@Rejean Nowlan if he was orange after 67 years, I wouldn't think he would be teaching others..

[@NH-ge4vz]

@Rejean Nowlan some people who have a high dan in judo still use a black belt, my sensei doesn't use his white-red belt..

[@828maori5]

Faded red. Must of had that belt for well over 20years.

[@liamdoes8580]

I know in bjj there's less than 10 red belts is that the same in judo

[@anonymouse7095]

When I was in the Coast Guard and stationed on Kodiak island, Alaska, there was a very old man who taught judo there. His name was Corky McFarland. He may have looked old, but he was fit, spry, and very much energetic and alive. Super inspiring.

Update on Jack: _”September 26 marked the 10th anniversary of his 9th Dan and he was then contacted by Judo officials to tell him he was to receive his 10th Dan and an informal presentation took place at his Northumberland home. A grander presentation is planned in London but due to Covid-19 restrictions that has been put on hold.”_

LoL Exactly. I'm 33 and have no left shoulder from years of baseball (Pitcher) and boxing. I couldn't imagine practicing Judo as hard as that is on ones body & joints at age 94. The man was even practicing flips, i'd be afraid my weight would hurt the man. His story is very inspiring, I think we all would love to look as good as he does at age 94.

[@Daniel-yo5es]

he's not training judo... he's teaching and not doing any throws or being thrown.

[@K1forMVP]

He looks awesome for 94yrs old. This was inspiring, an awesome story. I'd like to meet Mr. Hearn, what a life.

[@suuyasha2496]

I'm doing now for 5 years Ju-Jitsu but I have a physical disability ( knock-knees) - lately did the green belt exams and passed. Then a friend of me (also from Ju-Jitsu) came to me and said "Thank you for teaching me." And I was really confused about that asked like "Teaching what?" "Teaching me, that even when you have physical or even mental problems, if you work hard enough, you can overpass this." That was such a wonderful expirience for me and almost brought me to tears...

[@FaserTazer]

I love how he said judo is more than just a sport, it is a way of life. I used to work at a martial arts academy that wanted to make their own curriculum of martial arts. The teachers were very knowledgeable however I felt that they lacked heart. I’ve been doing martial arts for 15 years and I’ve been around the block with many martial arts and every teacher had heart (yes I understand that some people depend on martial arts as a source of income). The people I worked with viewed martial arts as a product that can be bought and sold. My friend didn’t join the school because he though they were just trying to sell him the martial art and that they had no passion for it. My boss even told me to do body building to look more professional, despite me doing six martial arts and having a black belt. Martial arts is more than just a sport, it is a way of life both physically and mentally. And I hope that I look as good as this guy when I’m 94... if I make it lol

[@BrigidC123]

Stephanie Wentz - My Grandad served in WW2. He was a flight sergeant in the RAF who was a rear Gunner in the Wellington and Lancaster Bombers. He died at 57. He would've been 98 if he was still alive. Him and his crew were coming back with a damaged Lancaster Bomber, they crash landed on the runway somewhere up in Scotland. The tail of the plane snapped off with him in it where he received bad injuries and the rest of the crew/friends died. I think that crash took a lot out of him and he was never completely the same. He became a draftsman where he helped design the Super Sonic Concorde. I never got to meet my Grandad, I'm happy you have yours. Thank your Grandad for his service from Me.✌️

I'm 62, and although my spine has been fractured twice, I will be attempting a little comeback to Powerlifting hopefully early next year. More than likely just the BENCHPRESS, but competition just the same. I can honestly say that the years of Martial Arts Training I had in my twenties, were a major factor in my SURVIVING the first accident, as well as my general health to this day.
