This guy Kyle Maynard is an amputee with no arms or legs and he does pretty well in grappling tournaments. It's crazy! I'm sure most of you guys have already heard of Kyle or seen his videos, but I think it's worthy of its own thread on here. Whenever you think something is too hard or you won't be able to succeed, just think about Kyle and the challenges he has to overcome every day of his life!
No excuses, play like a champion!
Kyle is rad. I have seen him out at tournaments and he is legit. Nice post.
inspirational
that's incredible.
Cool story. He also attempted a shot at an MMA career:

That's really awesome. He's living proof that nothing is impossible.
I used to train with a guy who lost his right arm just below the elbow, and let me tell you, one of the toughest guys I have run into. Man, he would just choke the shit out of you with his nub (no disrespect). Made his guillotine crazy sick cause you have nothing to grab to try and stop the choke, almost an advantage for him when it comes to certain moves. Also made it damn near impossible to control that arm for any kind of sub. He was a great guy also, I should add.
First of all I have a ton of respect for Kyle and the size of his heart. However it just seems unfair to the other grappler, I mean with no arms or legs you have taken away a number of subs. The kid couldnt even secure the triangle attempt. I feel if there shoud be a different division for guys like him. Im sure im gonna get hated on for that but thats just how I feel.
