WOW! By the fact of his appearance I did not realize that he was that old!

Heck I'l be lucky if I live to be 87, let alone practice that long. I was

looking on the Internet and I read that he was 79 (must have been an old

article), then I realized why he is the way he is, and does what he does.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

 

I would be interested in hearing the answer to the question you asked

though.

 

Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

-Demian

I agree, he looks great for his age. When he adjusted me, he got down on

his knees and worked with me, and then got right up without missing a beat.

My teacher (who has studied intensely with him) seems to feel that he will

teach as long as life allows him too. I am lucky, at 46 that I can get up 4

times a week and do this. Some days I feel like I can't walk up a flight of

stairs. I do think it is interesting though that no one seems to have ever

seen him do the practice, other then some still photos.
