Jiu jitsu practitioner born without 3 limbs does 12 hour grappling challenge

[Kenpoguy123]

So Im not in the jiu jitsu circle but this was on the news in jersey where I live a guy born without 3 hours is grappling non stop for 12 hours with a fresh opponent every half an hour for charity. I thought it was a nice story to share

Not the whole thing but if you type in on facebook Gracie barra channel islands BJJ and mma academy there's a couple of short clips. Also on that page you'll see rob staples sharing posts he runs the school and if you go on his profile there's a few more pictures and videos. Still going on right now finishes in about half an hour

An update for anyone interested, he completed it and he had been training for 18 months and doing a lot of 1 to 1 training as well as group classes and after this event today got promoted to his blue belt

What's this "born without 3 limbs" nonsense. He's missing half of one arm, half of one leg, and part of one foot. All told, that adds up to missing a little over one limb total. Barely a handicap, really. </sarcasm>

Pedantry aside, good for him. Sounds like his promotion was well deserved.

I'd pass his guard, choke him out, and then congratulate him on the promotion. Stuff like this is awesome.
