Those are 67 rough years. Still, she's got her health and spirit. I'll call that a win.

A California woman who says she trained in jujitsu for decades while listening to “Eye of the Tiger,” took down a home intruder and protected her elderly neighbors at a senior apartment complex in Fontana earlier this week, according to multiple reports.
Lorenza Marrujo, 67, says she prefers the name "Lady Ninja," due to her martial arts experience over the years. Standing at less than 5 feet tall, Marrujo reportedly left the suspect -- identified by authorities as Donald Robert Prestwood, 59 -- yelling in pain after she defended a wheelchair-using friend and neighbor, Elizabeth McCray, 81, on Monday.
Marrujo originally scared away the suspect from her own apartment after grabbing a bat and telling him to "back off," according to a joint report by Los Angeles TV stations KCAL-TV and KCBS-TV. The suspect reportedly left before Marrujo heard screams coming from McCray's residence.
“He grabbed me and shake me, and I went down on the floor,” McCray said before Marrujo arrived to help her.
“I squeezed myself between her and him. I put Mama [McCray] on the side, and I jumped on him. I was punching him and everything, and I had the cane against his throat,” Marrujo added.
Weighing just 100 pounds, Marrujo said didn’t want to kill the suspect -- listed in jail records as 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds -- so she switched positions and held him down.

Impressive jujitsu.
Hard to believe she's only 67 though.
Can I adopt her?
Sooooo, is she single?
Don’t forget to stomp the groin.

Don’t forget to deliver about 7 kidney punches. They work.
Those are 67 rough years. Still, she's got her health and spirit. I'll call that a win.
I’ll be happy if I look that good at 67 (worms can ruin your good looks).
Suspect was 59 himself, not much younger than this lady and given he his most likely a habitual criminal probably had a lifetime of drugs, cigarettes and drinking that has left him in poor shape for his age.
Yeah, I saw her on the local fake news this morning. She looked at least 87.
Yep, the old ‘ninja grandma’ trick...gets ‘em every time...
Now and then the criminals find out not _all_ senior citizens are ripe for the picking...like the old lady a couple of months ago who pulled out a shotgun and left at least one of 3 thugs in the yard dead...
Thought I was nuts listening to that song just once. Decades?
67 isn’t infirmed. I’m 67 and have been lifting since I was 16, still do 4 times a week. Not maintenance lifting either, hard workouts.
I’m ten years older and not nearly as wrinkled. God has been better to me than I deserve.
Common man! Ha!
