There is no expiration date on neuroplasticity and being active is always a good thing. Traditional martial arts training has long been suggested as an activity to benefit folks across the lifespan and there are many anecdotal reports of practitioners at very advanced ages.

While physically slower, they displayed amazing timing and thus remained terrifying in their technical abilities.
