Disabled Martial Arts

It's great when people who have a disadvantage turn it round and make it into a positive.

I was watching the London Marathon and they had one of those wheelchair athletes being interviewed. He had no legs, a custom "bath" chair and he pushed with arm stilts. He had made a huge amount of money for charity through sponsorship and was promoting awareness.

The interviewer asked him why he was doing this.

Know what his answer was:
"To help people less fortunate than myself."

A guy with no legs trying to help people less fortunate than he is.

Now that's a true warrior and a humbling experience.
