Really appalled at some of the comments on here.

Well done, it’s not a fight, it’s a game, that’s why they are ‘players’,
Who’s to say who can and can’t play.

Tremendous respect for this guy. Even if his record is 100 loses with zero wins the fact that he’s doing this with his handicap is pretty inspiring….

IDK, part of me would like for his opponent to go easy on him and the other part wants his opponent to just finish him quick. One thing you will learn from people with disabilities is that they want to be treated equally and if his opponent goes easy on him, not only will the guy in blue learn even more slowly, his jits, but he will obviously also not be treated equally.

in a sport that encourages opportunism at it’s highest level of competition, and by that i am mean exploiting your opponents weakness so that you can gain advantage of a split second to possibly fracture their bones or damage a joint, i find it strange to see this type of generosity.

amazing for him to be able to do that, but lets be honest I think its hard for any contender to try to be themselves and actually try their best against him. I have great respect for him to be able to do this despite physical limitation he has but it might be better if he just practice it and enjoy it rather than compete against others that probably won’t try against him.

@mystiso and Eucanlykthis.

You both are morons, jiu jitsu is probably the only motivation or passion that he has, and of course him and his coaches know that he won’t get nowhere with jiu jitsu, but he can’t probably get a job or go to school either, and instead of being a lazy bastard negative moron like you guys, he found the way to better himself doing jiujitsu.

I bet neither of you both practice jiu jitsu, I can just tell reading your comments that you both are just dicks that never see the positive side of situations and just hate on people because they do something that you wish you did! Get off your ass and try to get a purple belt and see how hard it is…

@mystiso
i understand what your saying and agree completely. dont listen to these other guys. its great to see someone strive towards their goals despite having to overcome tremendous hurdles, but unfortunatley on this occasion the hurdles are insurmountable and this guy would surely benefit from investing his time in something more worthwhile. with that sort of determination he could achieve great things if he focused his efforts toward something more suitable. very inspirational regardless.
