This should be an inspiration to all. There's been a few guys on the comments on that video that have been talking shit about this guy, but I don't think I've been inspired more by any other Jiu Jitsu video

I am getting sick of dudes in wheel chairs showing me up. First the back flip wheel chair kid, now this? WTF. I am eating cookies and petting the cat when I get home.
It's awesome to see how he's adapted some of the techniques to work for him. I like how he traps his opponents arms while he is mounted keeping the opponent from basing out his arms to counter the bridge.
Sick arm triangle :)
fuck, at first i didn't think he was going to get out of his wheelchair. i'm seriously impressed
that said, fuckin cheater is wearing shoes. hahaha juice kidding
It's truly a testament to the human spirit that when channeled correctly great things are possible.
Great find, Jason!
Jiu Jitsu works.
If you put your mind to it.....:)
James :) And yes, it sure as hell does!Quote:

Eric Ingram becomes first quadraplegic to earn blue belt in jiu-jitsu from the Gracie family

Want to see something amazing? Eric Ingram became the first quadraplegic in history to earn a blue belt in jiu-jitsu from the legendary Gracie family.
“I tried karate for a year but there’s too much stand-up technique and it just turned into me watching everyone else do it,” said Ingram, 20, a physics major at Old Dominion University. “With Gracie Combative it’s mainly groundwork and the other techniques [Ingram and his brother Troy] were able to adapt to meet my needs.”
Troy Ingram is a certified Gracie instructor.
To obtain his belt after more than a year of hard work, Ingram had to demonstrate on videotape that he could perform all 36 Gracie Combatives moves in a series of four tests and then run a fight simulation with his brother as partner.
Congratulations Eric.
makes me feel grateful
on a lighter note who you got in a grappling match Eric Ingram or Kyle Maynard
That's awesome! Side note: what kind of dick would attack a dude in a wheelchair such that he'd have to defend himself with jiu jitsu? Thanks for posting this; this was great to see! :)
Edit: I just saw some of the comments on the YouTube site. I didn't realize just how stupid and ignorant some people could be and yet still have the capacity to type. Fucking morons. Eric is awesome; he's an inspiration to anyone who trains jiu jitsu and serves as potent reminder that if all you can do is talk, just shut the hell up and let those who have the stones for it actually go out there and DO something. I would love to meet Eric someday and have a roll.
Very cool!
Although, if I was in a wheelchair...I would have a .45 on me. ;)
