Kicking MMA Butt at Age 72

Days before I turned 72 years old last month, I received my purple belt in MMA.

I started taking weekly classes at Kovar’s Mixed Martial Arts days after I turned 71 in 2024.

Just under one year later, right before turning 72 last month, I received my purple belt.

While the purple belt matches my purple Lamborghini Urus SE, I’m not stopping here.

Blue Belt is next.

I won’t stop there, either.

Red belt is after that.

I’ve publicly declared I intend to earn my Black Belt by age 75 – if not sooner.

This goal is not easy.

This past year has not been easy.

But if it were easy, I wouldn’t be writing about it.

You can hear Hanshi Dave Kovar, the creator of the brand of MMA I’m training in, interview me at https://youtu.be/cwJ_ZiVs_gY?si=gd0Smpbn0gVaBW0Z 

What are you going to do to make 2026 great?

The time to begin is NOW.

Expect Miracles.

Ao Akua,
