Austin music legend Willie Nelson celebrated his 81st birthday one day early by being presented with his fifth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do by Master Um of Master Martial Arts in Austin, TX. Nelson watches a demonstration from some of the students during the presentation. Nelson has been studying for twenty years and finally reached the lofty status of Master, as he was presented in a ceremony Monday night April 28, 2014.
