He's paraplegic and holds a 5th degree black belt. Really amazing guy.<br /><br />There's a video <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBEFcGh-eG0" REL="nofollow">here</A> of a demonstration he did fending off two attackers at the World Budosai in 2008.Krista de Castellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15117915798530224938noreply@blogger.com
