Now the plucky pensioner is working alongside Groupon on a campaign to encourage Britain's retirees to try something new.

It may come as a surprise, but judo can be particularly beneficial to the health of older people, say scientists.

It may sound unlikely, but scientists recently decreed that judo could have incredible health benefits older people.

Along with other martial arts, judo involves learning how to control yourself when you fall in order to avoid injury, and the experts believe that men and women with osteoporosis could benefit from mastering these skills so that they can avoid the risk of injuries.

By learning the techniques, older people could thus avoid life-changing damage to brittle hips triggered by uncontrolled stumbles and trips.
