He’s cracked too many bricks with his forehead.

Wow...started training at age 61, fifth degree black belt at 81. Color me impressed.

Good for Willie. Just yesterday, I was in my friend's pawn shop, and he had some Willie playing.

I'm actually more impressed with Ed O'Neill receiving a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Rorion Gracie.

Willie Nelson about to become fifth degree black belt

I don't know, I get the impression that holding a 23rd degree ultraviolet belt from the 3rd street bowling alley dojo or being acclaimed an exalted master of the Begonia Lane Shao Lin temple doesn't necessarily make one a martial arts expert. But I'm glad Willie is getting some exercise - very important for older people.

Nobody does it better than Willie Nelson and George Jones singing about getting drunk.

One of the proudest days of my life!

Took me five years to receive my first degree (Sho Dan) in Shotokan and another fifteen to reach my fifth degree (Go Dan).

(My sensei became an Olympic judge.)

At 62 years of age .. I have no desire to go higher though. (five more Dans)

Good for Willie!

Written and recorded by Waylon Jennings as a friendly jab at Willie, and covered here by the Rolling Stones:

Willie once said that people keep asking him when he’s going to retire. He said his response is always, “Retire from what? All I do is golf and play music.” I guess we can add martial arts to that.

HarHarhar.

I can just picture it: OLD Willie floppin' around on the mat, trying to keep his belt from choking him. :o)

[FlyingEagle]

And after that he will want some cheetoes and beer and maybe beef jerky. And another toke maybe.

[Tainan]

I am somewhat skeptical this claim.

[bikerman]

Does he use his walker to break bricks he first drooled on to soften them with?
