This guy is 90 years old and works out two hours a day...more than some 18 year olds. If you're going to do it,

The Mike Brewer clones will keep you to a higher standard and push you to *your* limits.
And if it gets too much for you, you can always clear the area by slowly turning the topic of self-defense or combatives into a conversation about theoretical physics and all the Mike Brewer look alikes will give you a dirty look and walk away...
