Wheelchair Blackbelt (ViD)

[Dworkingham]

This is an awesome clip from the Karate Kid Fan Documentary on YouTube, about a kid who uses a wheelchair who attains his black belt. A little inspiration for the New Year...

The entire documentary can be found on this YouTube channel... http://www.youtube.com/dworkingham

Good for him, and a big thanks to all instructors who work hard to help dedicated students such as these!

I applaud all who have disabilities but endeavor to do things most people think they will never do

That is a very humbling video. The next time I or one of my students decide they really don't want to train we are going to watch that video. Very inspirational.

Great story

Nice... Kinda makes you feel good

In a word... Inspiring. :asian:

Couldn't help but laugh at the "human pinata" line...
but it's a great thing to see an accomplishment like that.

I'd have to disagree with Martin Kove on his assessment of the Rocky movie though. Both films still carry to today. While KK does continue to inspire. Rocky continues (for me) to be a great film with it's own message of inspiration.

Awesome story..

Thanks for checking it out, everyone! I'm glad you liked Clay's story.

I have a CP friend who can toss me over his shoulder and is magic with knives and bombs. He likes to say, "No one ever suspects the crippled little bastard in the wheelchair". He's my inspiration for never trusting people in wheelchairs.
