Train every day and drink beer afterwards

This is a nice interview with Seikichi Uehara, the late grandmaster of Motobu-ryu Gotente (In Uchinaguchi: Mutubu Udunti). It was taken when he was 93. Althouh he had long since stopped demonstrating truly live techniques he was still remarkably healthy (and the year before this interview, demonstrated techniques with a significantly younger boxer). In the video, he says his chief aim is to teach until the age of 100, which he did. He passed on at the age of 100.
