The man performs spin and kick attacks while poised on the gym mat during the performance
THIS is the inspiring moment a disabled karate disciple performs a martial arts routine in front of his teachers and fellow pupils.
The courageous performance saw the man, who has deformed legs and arms, showcasing his moves on a mat.
Despite lacking the mobility of most, he performs karate chops with ease – and at one point, performs a spinning kick.
Surrounding the black belt-wearing performer are members of the disability karate club to which he belongs.
Several are seen sitting in wheelchairs, while others are standing with the help of walking aids.
Towards the end of the performance, they can be seen applauding the man’s martial arts display.
It was not clear where the footage was filmed, except that it was recorded somewhere in Spain.
Campaign groups say martial arts can improve disabled participants’ agility and balance, while also boosting their self esteem and confidence.
