That is a great article. Perhaps if it were to get some national attention folks may look a little differently on the martial arts. Not necessarily from a defense point of view but rather from a health perspective. All of the hard work that the fella has put in has made him a medical miracle.

Another example is Marty Manuel. There's a picture of him in the Aug./Sept. 2003 Martial Arts Insider as part of the Wally Jay tribute.
