In one way, Molly Varghese is known as a petite and gentle 71-year-old, a native of India. In another way, she is known as a powerhouse. Varghese is a high-ranking certified black belt in the martial art of taekwondo. She earned the honor at a bustling Johnson County martial arts studio. “I wouldn’t have imagined that 10 years ago,” she said. “Coming from India, I was shy. I wouldn’t be flexible. “I didn’t know what taekwondo was, but I wanted to check it out. I’m still doing it.” The payoff? Cardio workouts, better mobility, and physical and mental balance. Also, a boost in self confidence, she says.
