A Message to weak parents from a Blind BJJ & Wrestling Champion
Every parent should hear this message and take it to heart
This week I had Clinton Terry come on the podcast, otherwise known as the ‘@blindgrappler‘. That’s right, Clinton is completely blind and competes, professionally, in both Wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Clinton has an incredible story.
He was 2 he lost his sight & went blind however, his mother didn't treat him any differently from his brothers, and he was forced to live & not be cuddled like a soft-cock.
Clinton went on to find wrestling at the age of 19. He lost his first 40 matches without scoring a point ‼️ many would have given up, possibly after the first match, as men these days are weak-minded and have an attention span of a small quail. Not a real man like Clinton. He put his weakness aside and went on to become NZ National champion, and once he had conquered one of the hardest Martial Arts he then moved on to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu where he became 7 x PanPacific Champion‼️ Most recently he headlined a COMBAT Jiu-Jitsu event in Auckland 🇳🇿 (Jiu-Jitsu with striking) and won that event.
Clinton is honestly a remarkable human and I had to ask him, “what’s your message to anyone that’s newly blind?” - the answer blew me away:
