On the eve of his 81st birthday, music legend Willie Nelson wasn't prepping for a big birthday bash. Instead, on Monday 4/28, Nelson got his fifth-degree black belt in GongKwon Yusui, a martial arts he's done for over twenty years.

I had the opportunity to meet Willie Nelson in California several years ago and he was a really cool guy.  Very laid back and unassuming.  Pretty cool to be 81 and still kicking it.  His new album "Band Of Brothers" will be out next month.
