I assume you don't mean it as a bad thing. ;)

Of course, if he was active for most of his life, even into old age, now that is something to be awed by.

ofc not, being a devoted (mentally at least) martial artist(more like a fanboy) I like the idea of martial art being the fountain of youth:)

I was also thinking of the fact that many sports can cause long-term injuries to their players, boxing being one of the most infamous in that regard. I often wonder if martial arts, at least certain types, are safer in terms of possible damage to the participants.
