Very interesting. Though I can't understand how he's able to spar without really seeing anything... I've got only one working eye (and therefore, no depth perception) and even though I see what's coming, I can't really spar because I keep 'walking right into' the attacks. I'm wondering how he solves that particular problem...

Awesome! I hope he makes it all the way.

There's a blind Hapkido master out there, wrote a book too. His name escapes me at the moment.
