Never tell an older woman what she can't do! Octogenarian Fran Vall holds a 6th-degree black belt in Judo and a 5th-degree in Japanese sword fighting. In addition to mentoring at three martial arts clubs, she still finds time to work as a ski and snowboard instructor and volunteer in her community.
On a quest to never stop learning, Sensei Fran became proficient in all of these arts during her years in the Foreign Service, living in places such as Japan, Afghanistan and the Sudan.
WHAT WE LOVE:
Her spirit, humor, and willingness to just keep going.
