This is one of our newest students. His name is Arron Higginbotham. Arron has Cerebral Palsey. His dream is to be a competitor and we are trying our best to help him achieve this dream! Please post here and show your support for Arron. I know any encouraging words you have for him would be appreciated!
He wanted me to post both of his videos. The first one is against a very experienced MMA fighter who was kind enough to get down and engage with Arron. It was a difficult match for both guys, although in very different ways. Arron was awarded the victory on points. We are very grateful to Robert Terrell for being such a humble and gracious opponent.
The second match was a little more difficult for Arron, but was a very important learning exercise for him, as well! This opponent wasn't as willing to play on Arron's terms and actually took the back and choked him unconscious. It was a scary moment, but one that I think will serve as a teaching tool as we move forward. Thank you to his opponent for honoring Arron by fighting hard and treating him the same as he would any other opponent!
