CBS 5) SAN FRANCISCO A San Francisco woman in her 90's is inspiring others in the ancient art of self-defense and making history as well.

Keiko Fukuda has Parkinson's disease, arthritis in every joint, a triple bypass and has recovered from two heart attacks.

Think you could take her on? Maybe you can. Maybe you can't.

In a small studio in San Francisco's Noe Valley, the 92-year-old Fukuda holds court. She's had a hold on judo the past 80 years. The top female practitioner of the sport - ever.

Fukuda came to lecture in the Bay Area 40 years ago and never left.

She's a pedigree. Her grandfather was a famed samurai jiu-jitsu warrior. She attended the first judo class which ever allowed women.

i could still kick her ass 1 on 1. the only reason she is a 9th grade black belt is off of pity that she is old and has quite a bit of history behing from her fathers. otherwise there is no way she went through competitions to be a 9th grade.

All them flips over the years didn't help with her joint pain,but good for her that she is still at it.
