Sensei-tional Grandpa: 92-Year-Old Jack Is Britain’s Oldest Judo Teacher

MARTIAL arts master Jack Hearn is the oldest active Judo Sensei in the UK - and at 92-years-old, he has no plans of bowing out. The great-great-grandfather, from Cramlington, Northumberland, holds a 9th Dan black belt, making him one of the country’s highest graded players. Now the plucky pensioner, is working alongside Groupon on a campaign to encourage Britain’s retirees to try something new. Recent research from Groupon has found that retired Brits are now 15% more active than the rest of the nation and spend more time outdoors than most 18-24 year olds, with 35% saying that risky activities make them feel younger. Jack will be offering five lucky winners the chance to train with him in one of his Judo classes. To enter the free deal to be in with a chance of winning visit: www.gr.pn/jack
