Zhang Hexian (张荷仙) started learning martial arts at the age of 4. Now, 90 years later, she has gained fame as the ‘Kung Fu Granny.’

Born into a martial arts family, the now 94-year-old Zhang Hexian from Dongyang town in Zhejiang province has been practicing martial arts for close to 90 years.

Nicknamed ‘Kung Fu Granny’ (功夫奶奶), she has become a local ‘martial arts legend’ and has gained popularity on Chinese social media for her martial skills.

According to Chinese state media, the woman is in very good shape and is a fast runner. She has not visited a doctor for decennia and does not take any medicine.

She also told the media that throughout her life she has never stopped regularly practicing martial arts: “Our Zhang family motto is: don’t be afraid of death, don’t be afraid of death, keep training for life’.”
